In This Issue:



Day Boat Sea Scallops - through July


In keeping with our mission to serve the freshest food possible to our guests, day boat scallops refer to the boats that fish for scallops just for the day, rather than the traditional method of dredging for up to 10 days before returning to harbor. Buyers meet the boats at the dock and buy big bags of sweet, fresh Atlantic sea scallops.

Beginning July 6, plan to come in and enjoy this seafood favorite prepared the following ways:

Pan-Seared with
Fresh Basil Beurre Blanc
served with vegetable risotto

Spice-Rubbed and Sautéed
served on Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
w/ Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Grilled and topped with
Seasonal Stone Fruit Salsa served
with fresh local vegetable of the day

July only - plan several trips and taste them all!

Salsa Summer!


We are excited to announce the start of Salsa Summer at Harrison's! This month we have added a Salsa Sampler to our Fresh Bar at lunch. This flavorful add-on is being offered to Fresh Bar patrons at no additional cost all of July. Enjoy three delicious, Harrison's made salsas - a fruit salsa (perhaps Mango Salsa or Seasonal Stone Fruit Salsa); a tomato based salsa; a bean salsa or other creative salsas based on the freshest ingredients in the kitchen that day and served alongside three style of tortilla chips. Complete this sampler with delicious Sangria made with Tait Farm Lemon Shrub. It is the perfect summer thirst quencher!


Tait Farm to Harrison's Table Update


Tait Farm continues to send us delicious lettuce for the always popular Tait Farm Local Organic Salad on our menus. This salad is never the same, reflecting Chef Harrison's creativity with the variety that Farmer Erin brings to the back door for us to prepare. This week they promise a bounty of carrots, scallions, green beans, herbs and more. 'Tis the season for Fresh and Local making a true Farm to Table experience fun and delicious at Harrison's! Join us during this season of abundant produce!
