Portland Seafood Bar Pan Roast Will Open Downtown in 2024 | Eater Portland

"Opening in late May inside Block 216, Pan Roast will be a seafood bar built around Moy’s family pan roast recipe, serving oysters on the half shell, fish and chips, and his grandmother’s crab bread. The pan roast can be ordered with lobster, shrimp, Dungeness crab, fresh clams, or any combination of shellfish; each is cooked to order and finished in a creamy, tomato- and clam-based broth that balances creaminess, Cajun spices, citrus, and “lots of seafood.” The house crab bread is made by tossing crab with mayo, butter, herbs, and garlic, spreading it over bread, and baking until bubbly; oysters will be sourced from the Pacific Northwest and come with simple accoutrements like lemon, hot sauce, and mignonette; fish and chips will be offered with cod, salmon, ahi tuna, or halibut. Moy describes the restaurant as a tribute to his dad’s side of the family and an attempt to bring the pan roast he grew up eating to Portland." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
