Don’t miss out on Catch 35’s holiday specials either!  The apex of the holiday season is our fresh Alaskan red king crab, which is served fresh only 2-3 weeks out of the year, otherwise it is cooked from frozen. You can enjoy the super sweet, chilled king crab at its peak freshness.  Serving sizes vary from ½ lb appetizer to 1 lb appetizer. Also, highlighting the fresh Alaskan red king crab are combination entrees that feature both the crab and either our premium cut steaks or juicy Atlantic cold water lobster.

Starting in November, we are featuring the sweetest of all scallops that are flown in daily from Nantucket through February. The Nantucket cape scallops are served with butternut squash risotto.  Try it as an appetizer or an entrée.  Wishing you a season filled with health and happiness.  See you soon!
