Vongerichten dives into seafood at The Fulton
BY GABE HERMAN
A new seafood restaurant from chef Jean-Georges
Vongerichten, called The Fulton, opened recently
at the South Street Seaport.
This is the fi rst seafood restaurant from Vongerichten,
who now has 36 restaurants worldwide, including
ABC Kitchen, abcV and Public Kitchen in Manhattan.
The Fulton opened on May 14 and is named in honor
of the Fulton Fish Market. At Pier 17, at 89 South St., it’s
“located in an area of the city Vongerichten fell in love
with when he fi rst encountered the energy of the former
Fulton Fish Market in 1986,” according to the restaurant’s
Web site. The fi sh market was nearby at South St.
from 1822 until 2005, when it moved to Hunts Point in
the Bronx.
The Fulton’s menu offers a wide range of seafood, including
many local East Coast options. There is a raw
bar with oysters, clams and sea urchins. The crudos (or
“raw”) section of the menu includes sashimi on ice and
yellowfi n tuna tartare.
There are appetizers like clam chowder, mussels, soft
shell crabs and warm octopus with fresh mozzarella.
Main dishes include fi sh stew thickened with aioli, black
sea bass and Maine lobster with spring peas. There are
also pasta and rice options, and beef and vegetable sections
on the menu.
The restaurant has two fl oors and includes sea-themed
murals, along with views of the nearby Brooklyn Bridge.
