Selkie's summer menu update brings a shift toward chilled seafood. The restaurant, which opened in 2021, is expanding its raw bar in response to customer demand during warmer months. Diners will find increased varietals of east and west coast oysters alongside new crudo preparations.\n\nSelkie co-owner Erin Marron said that the menu change is seasonal. “We see a lot more interest in light, cold seafood dishes when the weather warms up,” Marron noted. The restaurant previously emphasized cooked items, but now seafood served raw or cured will take a prominent place on the menu.\n\nThe expanded raw bar includes six types of oysters, with daily selections posted at the restaurant. There are also three types of crudo, featuring fluke, scallop, and local bluefish. Regular cooked dishes, such as fried fish sandwiches and chowder, remain available in smaller sections of the revised menu.\n\nSelkie will maintain its regular hours and staff through the summer. No changes to hours of operation or reservation policy have been announced. The restaurant encourages customers to check daily raw bar offerings, as selections may rotate depending on market availability.\n\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
