This month’s Second Tuesday Tastings at Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Grill in the former Hotel del Coronado Boathouse on Coronado Island honors both National Seafood Month in October and the restaurant’s ongoing “Taste of Spain” seasonal culinary focus. For the Oct. 10 Second Tuesday Tasting, local chefs will pair Panko Artichoke Hearts with Brava Sauce and Chipotle Blackened Swordfish with Abadia de San Campio Albarino and Marques de Riscal Verdejo wines from Spain, respectively. The special two-course Oct. 10 dinner with wine pairings is $55 per person. Reservations are encouraged. According to Bluewater co-founder and co-owner Jimmy “Jim U” Ulcickas, Bluewater’s obsession with freshness and sustainability makes a National Seafood Month menu a no-brainer. “Back in 1996, Bluewater was at the forefront of the fresh, sustainable seafood conversation,” he said. “Folks weren’t used to getting hyper-fresh seafood and shellfish right in their own neighborhood, and the question of fish origins was just starting to take off.” “Today, many restaurants claim to be fresh and responsible – but we are still the sustainability leader, one of the few pursuing a wholly sustainable menu and operating our own fishing boat, which gives us more control over the fish we ultimately serve our customers. It’s a difference you can taste.” Even more than restaurant owners, Ulcickas and co-owner Richard Staunton consider themselves fisherman at heart. “I think it is precisely this appreciation for the ocean that makes Bluewater such a favorite among seafood lovers. We’ve worked hard over the years to build the consensus that if you want the absolute freshest fish, you come to Bluewater,” said Staunton.
