Make the most of the all-too-brief striped bass season (without buying a boat or baiting a hook) at Concord’s 80 Thoreau. Chef Scott Ryan has put together a tasty (and timely) prix fixe that highlights the well-loved local gamefish over four super summery courses. Available from Wednesday, July 10th through Saturday, July 20th, the menu features dishes like striped bass tartare with soy, avocado and togarashi, and seared striped bass with summer squash, tapenade and tomato. Scope out the whole spread, priced at $75 per person, below and book your table online here to partake while you can. Give 80 Thoreau a ring at 978.318.0008 with any Qs.
