If you are not a seafood lover, Remingtons recently introduced a menu item that is outstanding…Grilled Chicen Vera Cruz. It has some kick to it and everyone so far is raving about it. I won’t divulge the recipe but it has several spices including oregano and chipolte in the marinade. Topped off with fresh avocado slices and cilantro. Very flavorful. It is a great value because it is a full 8 ounce breast.

Fresh Veggies Too
:: Posted by billrem1 on 08-05-2011We added fresh steamed spinach to our menu a few years ago and this has become a home run. Who would have thought.? And, we do not romance it with cream sauce or garlic…just a little butter and salt and pepper.
We also prepare it in a way that maximizes its nutritional value. Here is our trade secret…we seal the spinach, butter and s and p into a baggie and microwave it for 30 seconds. None of the nutrients are lost in the process.
Remingons also tries to serve a VOW …fresh veggie of the week. Some of our most popular are green beans, carrots, brocoli and believe it our not..fried okra. Bet you remember mom saying “eat your spinach or eat your brocoli” when you were a kid. Well, if you don’t like spinach or brocoli, have our cole slaw. We are told that it is the best cole slaw in the world. Come try it and comment below.
100 Years in Our Kitchen
:: Posted by billrem1 on 08-04-2011One of the chief reasons Remingtons has been around for 33 years is the people. Yep….”its the people stupid!” Dedicated loyal cooks like Santos our Chef and Carlos and Jaime have been flipping fish for a total of 86 years. Add Daniel, Antonio and Jose and we have a century worth of experience in our kitchen. Santos started with us back in 1981 when he was 16 years old. People tell us we have consistently good seafood and he is certainly one of the chief reasons.
As owners, Adam and I are extremely grateful to have staff like this. It takes a team working cooperatively together to operate a restaurant successfully for 33 years. We are very fortunate indeed.
Fresh or Frozen Shrimp
:: Posted by billrem1 on 08-03-201199% of the shrimp consumed in the United States is fresh frozen on the boats immediately after being netted. One would have to visit the shore of the gulf in order to buy fresh shrimp from a local fisherman. Most shellfish such as lobster, scallops and shrimp are nearly as good frozen as they are fresh….unlike fin fish which is best when freshly caught and never frozen. At Remingtons we specialize in fresh fish but we do buy some frozen shellfish as does almost every restaurant. We believe we serve the very ultimate in fresh scallops as we have a supplier on Cape Cod who packs us the freshest of sea scallops. Most restaurants are unable to buy the quality scallops that we do. One reason we have been in business for 33 years is our committment to the freshest product we can find on the market. Yeah….our fish is so fresh we have to slap it!
