Now’s a good time as any to visit Bonefish Grill, which added recently a summer menu. I had the pleasure of being invited to sample the entrees, which include North Atlantic haddock and lobster-stuffed shrimp.

May I start you off with a drink? You’ll find two fruit-based martinis on the menu.

• You’ll be greeted with a burst of berry flavor after one sip of the Fresh Strawberry Rosé Martini ($9.10), which is muddled with raspberries, blueberries and of course, strawberries. The Belleruche rosé comes in, too, in a complementary way.
• The Fresh Watermelon martini ($9.40) is comprised of cucumber-infused vodka and muddled watermelon.

Good variety in seafood selection. I appreciated that the seasonal menu is focused but has some breadth to it.

• The Wild Sockeye Salmon With Spinach, Bacon, Blue ($23.90) is big, flaky and mild. The toppings are generous but still let the salmon shine through.
• Both parts of the Fresh Walleye & Shrimp $25.90) are indeed super fresh, and the grill flavor reminds you of summer. You don’t even need the citrus aioli; the walleye and shrimp stand out on their own.
• The Fresh DayBoat Scallops ($22.90) are incredibly soft and tender (sushi grade as described), which is expected from scallops that come off the boat in less than one day. Like the other dishes, the scallops are so fresh that they don’t require the lemon butter drizzle and bacon, though both are nice touches.
• End your meal with the Fresh Strawberry Shortcake ($7.30). It’s a dry biscuit that sits on a massive bed of strawberries and is drizzled with creme anglaise.

Bonefish Grill launched recently a special Tuesday-only menu called “Hooked on Tuesday,” and I accepted an invitation to try it out. The prix-fixe menu is arranged in three price points–$14.90, $17.90 and $20.90–and to my pleasant surprise, the portions are the same size as their counterparts from the regular menu, meaning you are getting a bargain.

Start with either the house or Caesar salad, then choose from nine entrees and three desserts. As an example of the deal you’re getting, the spicy tuna bowl is $12.90 on the regular menu, but only $14.90 on the Hooked on Tuesday menu.  You also can add Bang Bang Shrimp for just $6 (and I did).

In the mid-price point is the Fontina pork chop ($17.90), which is packed with many flavors. On top are Fontina cheese, garlic, prosciutto and mushroom Marsala wine sauce. Actually, I could have just eaten the pork chop with the Marsala sauce–that’s an excellent pairing. The accompanying potatoes au gratin (one of five sides) were nice and fluffy and absorbed the sauce well.

In the highest-price point is the sea scallops + shrimp ($20.90). You get four of the former and five of the latter. Both had a great grilled flavor, and they were brightened by the mango salsa (one of five signature sauces you can add).

Dessert choices are macadamia nut brownie (the nuts are actually sprinkled on top in this decadent dish), classic cheesecake and Jen’s Jamaican coconut pie (super strong coconut flavor; melts in the mouth). Honestly, it was everything in my power to finish such a large but delicious meal.

Also worth noting is that Bonefish has added a few cocktails to its list. I really enjoyed the watermelon tini ($8.20), which is fresh watermelon muddled with cucumber and simple syrup and mixed with vodka. The frozen watermelon cubes were a nice touch. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something stronger, try the Kiwi Smash ($8.20), a unique mixture of mint, kiwi, tequila, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup.
