Rustic-refined bar and grill called Salt Shack dives into Tampa

Freshly caught fish and seafood drive the menu.

A rustic-refined bar and grill called Salt Shack on the Bay is taking shape in Tampa. Reeled in from local waters, freshly caught fish and seafood drive the menu of the new restaurant, located at 5415 W. Tyson Ave.

Seasonal cuisine and tropical cocktails are other planned highlights.

Billed as a beach getaway, Salt Shack has targeted an opening on the waterfront Rattlesnake Point sometime in spring 2019. The restaurant frequently uses the #gulftotable hashtag on social media, which is a good sign for fans of Florida's underwater bounty.

Peruse the Salt Shack Facebook page, for example, and you'll find photos of stone crab and oysters among its recent posts.
