In celebration of Slapfish’s third Orange County location opening in Newport Beach on Monday, Feb. 2, Slapfish Chef/Owner Andrew Gruel is giving the first 100 people a free lobster roll, and offering the opportunity for one lucky person to have a restaurant menu item named in their honor. To enter, simply submit your own seafood dish recipe on Slapfish’s Facebook page.
The winner will have a namesake menu item for two months at the Newport Beach location and can eat it for free each time they go to the restaurant. Recipes must meet Slapfish standards of sustainability, and should emphasize fresh fish cooked simply.
At the new Slapfish Newport Beach opening Monday, you can enjoy Chef Gruel’s Slapfish signature dishes, including Clobster grilled cheese rolls, a half-crab, half-lobster with tomato and awesome sauce; giant fish tacos served either grilled or crispy with corn tortilla, cabbage, avocado puree and pickled onion; and The Original Chowder Fries smothered in creamy clam chowder and bacon.
The 1400-sq-ft location, with 35 seats, will give guests the same experience and Slapfish quality that has made the Huntington Beach flagship restaurant a destination dining spot.
Slapfish Newport Beach is at 2727 Newport Boulevard. 949.723.0034.
Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
19696 Beach Blvd. in Huntington Beach. 714.963.3900.
