From the pristine waters of the Pacific Northwest to the bountiful coasts of New England, the world’s oceans offer an unparalleled bounty of culinary delights. For seafood aficionados, the pursuit of the most exquisite, rare, and indulgent seafood experiences has become a true passion. At Fish Tales Cafe, we are thrilled to guide you on a journey through the realm of seafood luxuries, uncovering the most decadent and exclusive offerings that will elevate your dining adventures to new heights.

Exquisite Shellfish

The delicate, briny sweetness of oysters has long been revered by discerning palates. Sourced from the pristine waters of the Pacific Northwest, our Kusshi and Kumamoto oysters are renowned for their exceptional flavor and creamy texture. Served chilled on the half-shell, these bivalves are the perfect canvas for a touch of citrusy mignonette or a dollop of caviar.

Beyond the classic oyster, the world of shellfish offers a treasure trove of delicacies. Indulge in the rich, velvety essence of Alaskan king crab, sourced directly from the icy Bering Sea. Pair these succulent, meaty legs with a chilled glass of crisp Chardonnay for a sublime seafood experience. For those seeking the ultimate in luxury, explore the elusive Yaquina Bay Oysters, renowned for their limited availability and unparalleled flavor.

Decadent Crustaceans

The lobster reigns supreme among crustaceans, and at Fish Tales Cafe, we celebrate its magnificent bounty. Savor the tender, sweet meat of the Maine lobster in a classic Lobster Thermidor, where the delicate flesh is nestled in a rich, creamy sauce and crowned with a golden, bubbly Gruyère crust. For a truly indulgent experience, try our Whole Roasted Lobster, presented tableside and accompanied by drawn butter and lemon.

Elevate your seafood experience even further with the inclusion of truffles. Our Truffle-Crusted Lobster Tail is a masterful fusion of two culinary icons, where the earthy aroma and flavor of truffles perfectly complement the sweet, luxurious lobster. This decadent dish is a testament to the harmonious collaboration between land and sea.

Bountiful Mollusks

Beyond the realm of crustaceans, the world of mollusks offers a wealth of gastronomic delights. Savor the velvety, umami-rich flavor of Hokkaido scallops, seared to perfection and paired with a vibrant citrus beurre blanc. For a true taste of the Mediterranean, indulge in our Seared Octopus with Crispy Potatoes, where the tender, slightly chewy texture of the octopus is balanced by the crisp, golden-brown potatoes.

Elevate your seafood experience even further with the inclusion of truffles. Our Truffle-Infused Scallops showcase the synergy between the briny, sweet scallops and the earthy, aromatic truffles, creating a harmonious and luxurious dish. Pair this with a glass of Pinot Noir for a truly indulgent pairing.

The marriage of seafood and truffles has become a culinary phenomenon, capturing the hearts and palates of discerning diners worldwide. At Fish Tales Cafe, we take this fusion to new heights, seamlessly blending the briny essence of the sea with the rich, earthy complexity of truffles.

For a truly decadent experience, try our Truffle-Infused Seafood Bouillabaisse, a fragrant, saffron-tinged broth brimming with a selection of the finest seafood, each morsel enhanced by the presence of truffles.

At Tre Dita at The St. Regis Chicago, diners can indulge in a transcendent gastronomic journey, where the artistry of Italian cuisine meets the bounty of the sea. Savor the Bistecca Fiorentina, a perfectly charred Tuscan-style steak, or delight in the delicate handmade pastas crafted in the restaurant’s temperature-controlled “pasta lab.”

Across the country, at The Omakase Room at Sushi-san in Chicago, Master Sushi Chef Kaze Chan presents an 18-course culinary masterpiece, showcasing the finest otoro, caviar, and freshly ground wasabi, all while elevating the experience with optional sake and wine pairings.

Rare and Unique Seafood Varieties

Beyond the well-known seafood favorites, the world’s oceans hold a treasure trove of rare and unique offerings that captivate the taste buds of the true seafood connoisseur.
