Suggested by someone whose second home is in Rehoboth, a group of us celebrated a friend’s birthday at Salt Air Kitchen. Salt Air is located on 50 Wilmington Avenue in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Our server, Blake, knew how to dish it out, both literally and figuratively. Some of my friends are “super" foodies and regularly enjoy savoring great cuisine and wine. Blake patiently took the time to bring us a couple of samples of wine before we selected a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from Duckhorn in Napa Valley.
After Blake brought our wine, it was unanimously decided that our appetizers, which we would share, were the Brussels and the Pot of Mussels. The sprouts were prepared with bacon and banyuls. The bacon in this dish added great flavor to the sprouts. I particularly thought that the Pot of Mussels prepared with Tasso, thyme and mustard cream was out of this world. I am not a big seafood fan but I was totally sold. The sauce for the tender mussels had a great spicy kick to it and several of us made sure not a drop was left behind.
With appetizers completely devoured, onto the main entrées, which came from both the Ocean and the Farm. One entrée consisted of Shrimp and Grits made with Aged Chorizo, Anson Mills Stone - ground Grits, and Charred Pimenton Compote. I selected one from the Farm, the Salt Air Pasture Yard Bird Roasted “Under the Brick” that was served with roasted radishes and garlic potatoes. The portion was so large that I shared it with our entire party. Everyone announced that the chicken was super tender.
With Salt Air’s menu, there were so many items from the Snack Bar, Veggies and Things to Share, and Ocean and Farm that I am eager to try. If you plan a vacation to Rehoboth, I highly recommend that you pay a visit Salt Air Kitchen.
