NEW ORLEANS – The team at GW Fins announced a month of seafood celebration at the popular French Quarter eatery. Throughout July, Chef Michael Nelson will lead a curated lineup of seafood-focused events.
This week wraps up the “Seafood Sustainability: Ocean Conservation Cuts Week.”
Through exclusively purchasing whole fish from our local fishermen, Chef Michael has become one of the country’s leading experts in butchering fish in a way that yields the most meat from each species. He notes his mission to increase sustainability is based on utilizing the maximum amount of each fish in the most fabulous dishes that highlight these “Ocean Conservation Cuts.”Â
This week is full of innovative dishes like Toro Pastrami on Rye, “Pulled” Swordfish BBQ Sliders, Swordfish Bolognese, “Meat Lovers” Flatbread, Fins Wings, Sicilian Tuna Meatballs and Muffalettas.
Shrimp Week
 July 12-16
The team will bring in the best shrimp in the world for Shrimp Week. Guest dining in the restaurant next week can feast on Royal Reds from Alabama, Rock Shrimp from Florida, White Shrimp from Louisiana, and Pink Shrimp from Argentina.Â
The shrimp will be highlighted in dishes like Yuzu Hibiscus Ceviche, Shrimp Cocktail, Vietnamese Glazed Tempura Shrimp, Shrimp Rolls on house-made Brioche and Lemon Caper Shrimp Pasta.
Chilled Seafood Week
 July 19-23
By mid to late July, everyone in New Orleans is looking for relief from the summer heat, so the restaurant will be doing their part to keep you cool with a line-up of chilled seafood dishes.
If you’re looking for a light, flavor-packed way to dine out, secure your reservations for this week – which will feature a line up of refreshing dishes including Cured Salmon Ravioli, Lobster Rolls, Aguachile, Crudo, Ceviche and Calamari Pasta Salad.Â
The Grand Fin-ale Week
 July 20-24Â
For the final week, the team at GW Fins wants your feedback to help them land the final catch for our Seafood Celebration!
Is there a variety of seafood that you haven’t seen on the menu, but would love to try? Is there a type of seafood preparation you can’t get enough of? They want to hear your thoughts.
As all seafood depends on seasonality and the availability of our fishermen partners to catch/secure them, the culinary team will try their best to feature the most popular response, during the week of July 20-24. Head over to the GW Fins’ Instagram page today and let us know what you want to enjoy during our fin-ale week of summer specials.
GW Fins is located at 808 Bienville St. and is open for dinner seven nights a week beginning at 5 p.m. We validate for three hours at Premium Parking (911 Iberville at the corner of Iberville & Dauphine).
