Seasonal seafood from rotating regions; poutine, lobster rolls
"Before the Birmingham restaurant opened, owner and chef Emmele Herrold traveled all over the East Coast, establishing relationships with small oyster farms and suppliers. The love of bivalves shows with a rotating selection of East and West Coast oysters, plus roasted Imperial oysters with crab meat, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs. Book a reservation at Resy." - Danny Palumbo
"Featuring a menu that changes seasonally to represent a different seafood region in the United States, offerings here may include items like Florida stone crab and grouper, as well as hot or cold lobster rolls, and peel-and-eat shrimp. For those with gluten sensitivities, the fish and chips are available in the restaurant’s classic recipe or gluten-free. For the gluten-free version, cuts of cod are dredged and fried in cornmeal and served with fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce. Make reservations on Resy or place orders online for pickup and delivery." - Serena Maria Daniels

"A Birmingham restaurant hosts an annual Lobster Pound that runs through September and focuses on both Maine and Connecticut-style lobster rolls, with Connecticut-style consistently more popular. The event began in 2019 as a summer experiment and has since sold more than 30,000 lobster rolls; during the Lobster Pound the restaurant serves roughly 175–200 pounds of lobster per day. Prices have risen this year (lobster rolls listed at $28 versus $24 last year), reflecting broader market-driven cost increases." - Monica Williams
