Enjoy Spring and Summer Flavors at Catch 35

Don’t you just love Chicagoland in late Spring? It’s warm – but not too warm; the sky is final clear most of the time instead of rarely; and you can smell the fresh flowers blooming all around you.

Why not bring the joy of the outside world of spring and summer to the lunch table? Here are some classic Catch 35 dishes that capture the spirit (and in some ways, the taste) of late spring in the Midwest.

Seafood Cobb salad

Nothing says summer like a summer salad, and one of the quintessential summer salads is the cobb salad. Try our unique seafood spin on the cobb that combines your favorite cobb mainstays – the avocado, hard boiled egg and tomatoes – with our Catch 35 poached scllops, Florida shrimp and blue crabmeat. The corn relish and lemon dill dressing put this dish over the edge as our ultimate summer seafood dish.

Aloha shrimp maki

In Hawaii, it’s practically summer year-round. Bring the feeling of summer to your lunch plate with one of our favorite maki rolls, featuring coconut battered shrimp, mayo, pineapple and cucumber. The featured fish is tobiko – a flying fish – and is paired with delicious frisee.

Blackened fish tacos

Here’s another favorite dish that transports you to the feel of ocean-bound land masses and seaside resorts. Our blackened fish tacos take on an additional kick thanks to the black pepper aioli and grilled pineapple salsa. The avocado rounds out the fish tacos, making them as satiating as they are tasty.

Thai chicken lettuce cups

Another favorite any time of year, our Thai chicken lettuce cups are perfect for late spring due to being a lighter dish that’s still loaded with flavor. Ours are spicier and kickier than other chicken lettuce cups thanks to healthy amounts of jalapeno and banana peppers accompanying traditional basil and cilantro spices in the dish. Combined with bean sprouts and jasmine rice, these lettuce cups are anything but meager.
