Bluewater Grill in Redondo Beach adds a Spanish Flair and Swordfish to their menu- October 2023
The Bluewater Grill in Redondo Beach added some new dishes to their already fantastic menu for their Second Tuesday Tasting they do each month. Not long ago they added their seafood paella (pictured below) which was super tasty but now added the blackened swordfish over dirty rice and topped with corn, avocado, and a delicious sauce.
They have their usual soup and salad starters and plenty of other entrées. They have added the fried artichokes (pictured above) on the menu as well. Enjoy a glass of their Spanish white wine to accompany your meal especially with the new specialties. They have course meals paired with the wines so ask your server.
The setting is very comfortable with a great atmosphere, booths and TVs around to watch sports. Overall a fantastic meal and dining experience.
The October menu pairs Panko Artichoke and Chipotle Blackened Swordfish with Abadia de San Campio and Marques de Riscal wines from Spain
This month’s Second Tuesday Tastings at Bluewater Grill Redondo Beach at King Harbor honors both National Seafood Month in October and the restaurant’s ongoing “Taste of Spain” seasonal culinary focus. National Seafood Month was established by an act of the U.S. Congress in 1958 to encourage Americans to eat more seafood and shellfish, and to support the U.S. fishing industry. In 2021, the most recent year statistics are available, Americans consumed a most- ever 20.5 pounds of seafood per person, representing a 1.5-pound increase over 2020.
For the Oct. 10 Second Tuesday Tasting, local chefs will pair Panko Artichoke Hearts with Brava Sauce and Chipotle Blackened Swordfish with Abadia de San Campio Albarino and Marques de Riscal Verdejo wines from Spain, respectively. The special two-course Oct. 10 dinner with wine pairings is $55 per person. Reservations are encouraged.
According to Bluewater co-founder and co-owner Jimmy “Jim U” Ulcickas, Bluewater’s obsession with freshness and sustainability makes a National Seafood Month menu a no- brainer. “Back in 1996, Bluewater was at the forefront of the fresh, sustainable seafood conversation,” he said. “Folks weren’t used to getting hyper-fresh seafood and shellfish right in their own neighborhood, and the question of fish origins was just starting to take off.” “Today, many restaurants claim to be fresh and responsible – but we are still the sustainability leader, one of the few pursuing a wholly sustainable menu and operating our own Bluewater Second Tuesday Tasting in October 2-2-2 fishing boat, which gives us more control over the fish we ultimately serve our customers. It’s a difference you can taste.”
Even more than restaurant owners, Ulcickas and co-owner Richard Staunton consider themselves fisherman at heart. “I think it is precisely this appreciation for the ocean that makes Bluewater such a favorite among seafood lovers. We’ve worked hard over the years to build the consensus that if you want the absolute freshest fish, you come to Bluewater,” said Staunton.
