Calamari, French fries and fried shrimp po’boys were back on the menu Wednesday evening at Sea Salt Eatery in south Minneapolis, after the restaurant had to limit its offerings due to fire and following storm-related closures that affected several other Twin Cities restaurants.

Sea Salt staffers on Tuesday said the Minnehaha Regional Park restaurant was on a “limited menu” until repairs. The new sandwich shop in the pavilion was not affected.
“We look forward to sunshine & normalcy,” store owners posted on social media.
But a Sea Salt official said Wednesday that the restaurant had recovered its full menu.
Power outages late last week temporarily closed several Minnehaha Regional Park facilities, including the Sea Salt pavilion, as a result of intense thunderstorms that affected about 3,200 Xcel Energy customers.
The fire at Sea Salt broke out Monday and forced the eatery to limit its menu to sandwiches and beverages. The shop reopened Tuesday but removed the following items from its menu: Calamari, clam fries and French fries; calamari and fried scallop tacos; fried shrimp, fried oyster and fried catfish baskets; fried shrimp, fried oyster, fried crawfish and fried catfish po’boys.
Those items now are back, a company spokesperson said.
