PORTLAND AND SEATTLE – January 5, 2010 – Salty’s Seafood Grills’ “Be Shellfish, Eat Me” Festival is going full steam ahead from January 28 to April 28, 2010 at all three locations in Seattle and Portland. It’s a culinary adventure celebrating lobster mania, colossal prawns and shrimp, paired splendidly with local wine and brew. And you’re invited to a special kick-off event on February 4: Salty’s Chefs’ Outdoor Prawn Boil.

GET YOUR PAWS ON OUR CLAWS! CHEFS’ OUTDOOR PRAWN BOIL

Thursday, February 4, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Even in the dead of winter, Salty’s chefs will be outside on their waterfront decks boiling prawns in pickling spice, Tabasco, Worcestershire and lemon. But guests get to enjoy these plump, flavorful prawns inside, with an assortment of sauces—cocktail, aioli, tartar and, of course, drawn butter. The $19.95 buffet dinner includes one pound of prawns, a pint of beer, freshly baked bread, Salty’s world-famous Signature Seafood Chowder and Twisted Caesar Salad. Bring your appetite and we’ll supply the bibs!
Prawn refills are $10 each and beer refills are $5 each (or choose wine).

Games You Can Play at the Prawn Boil to Help Raise Funds for Local Food Banks:

From 5:30 to 7 p.m., anyone caught having fun playing these games will receive a free “Be Shellfish, Eat Me” T-shirt, while supplies last. All proceeds go to the Oregon Food Bank, West Seattle Helpline, or Des Moines Food Bank, in respect to the location of each Salty’s restaurant.
