Grand News Network | September 12, 2024

A Portuguese seafood experience like no other in Ironbound, Newark

United States, 12th Sep 2024 – The highly anticipated second edition of the SolMar Seafood Festival is set to take place from September 27th to 29th, 2024, at the iconic SolMar Restaurant in Newark's Ironbound district. This event promises to be a grand finale to the season, offering guests an unforgettable weekend filled with the finest seafood and shellfish, sourced from Portuguese waters and beyond.

As the logistics behind this grand event are nothing short of impressive, Luis Nobre, the restaurant manager, explains, "Most of our seafood arrives alive in the United States by flight, ensuring that our dishes are as fresh as if you were dining on the Portuguese coast." Hosting an event like this is crucial for maintaining Ironbound’s reputation as a traditional food destination and for celebrating the culinary heritage that draws so many to our neighborhood."

This year's festival will showcase a variety of special dishes that highlight Portugal's rich maritime traditions. Guests can enjoy Arroz de Marisco com Lagosta, a hearty seafood rice dish from the coast, brimming with lobster and fresh catch; Açorda de Mariscos, a rustic Alentejo stew made with bread, garlic, and shellfish; Feijoada de Mariscos, a northern bean stew with a seafood twist; and Caldeirada de Chocos, a delicate cuttlefish stew from coastal towns, all perfectly paired with Portuguese wines.

Reflecting on the festival's evolution, Tony Nobre, the restaurant owner, shares, “In the first edition, we noticed that most of our guests were Portuguese who no longer live nearby but came back to enjoy the specialties they can only taste in Portugal. Recently, after three editions, the audience has become more mixed, with more Americans discovering our seafood delicacies. The Seafood Festival is here to stay, and you can count on this event twice a year!”

Since its establishment in 1969, SolMar Restaurant has been a beloved staple of Newark culture, renowned for its dedication to authentic Portuguese cuisine. The restaurant's commitment to excellence was recently recognized when 24/7 Tempo selected SolMar as the leading seafood eatery in New Jersey, a testament to its enduring legacy and high reputation.
