Salmon & Bear, Zetland
Salmon & Bear is an upscale, themed fish and chips shop in Zetland. We visited this restaurant in its second week of operation.
Setting
Stepping into the restaurant brings you literally into a whole different world. The interior is heavily themed into a very cosy Canadian hunting lodge, with Stag heads and salmon hanging from its walls. Walking in, you will first notice a strong blast of smoked fish. There is a large table in the middle of the restaurant with stools all around it, replicating a homely eat-in kitchen of a home. I do have to admit that the seating is rather cramped. Best not to visit if you have more than 4 in a group.
Food
Grizzly Plate ($25) - Any fish (Chose: Ora King Salmon), any sauce (Chose: Oyster & Sesame), any 2 sides/ salad (chose: Corn Salsa and Chips). The Ora King Salmon was perfectly cooked grilled and smoked in the charcoal Mibrasa oven. The skin was crispy while the inside was pink. On the downside, the de-boning needs some work - there were quite a few bones still in the salmon. The sauce made from Chinese Oyster sauce was slightly thinned and went well with the fish. The Corn Salsa was fresh and excellent. Chips were thick, and crispy.
Cubs Menu ($8) - Salmon Slider with Sweet Potato Chips. The salmon slider was definitely looking more like a small salmon burger. The sweet potato chips was probably one of the best we had - crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. This is good portion for a very hungry kid or a not so hungry adult.
Drinks
You can find your favourite soda here as well as a decent selection of beer and wine. We went for soda on this occasion.
Service
Service here was excellent - warm and friendly. Food was served very promptly. Tables were cleared quickly to make room for the next diner.
Overall
The food was excellent. The setting and service made the place very warm and welcoming. Will be back, most certainly.
