Taste of Summer

Fishmonger Head Chef Bradford Forsblom shares the recipe for one of his favorite summer dishes and a private dining room for 50 guests. We built an oyster bar that includes a full raw bar with several seafood options, including caviar, and we added several more steak options.

Known for its seafood and raw bar, Fishmonger is expanding in Atlanta with locations in Poncey-Highland and the Pratt Pullman District, as well as the newly opened West Midtown outpost in the former La Fonda space. Celebrate summer with this easy-to-make shrimp recipe from Head Chef Bradford Forsblom.
