• Work with our kitchen, sushi, and catering teams on special orders
• Help out at other stations when the team needs it

• Filleting whole fish like branzino, black sea bass, and red snapper
• Shucking oysters and clams
• Cleaning shrimp and portioning salmon to exact weights
• Knife care and sharpening
• Telling the difference between salmon types, shrimp varieties, and where all our seafood comes from
• Recommending cooking methods, sauces, and pairings to customers

What we’re looking for

• Comfortable handling raw seafood and working in cold spaces
• Able to stand for long shifts and lift up to 50 lbs
• Good at following checklists and food safety rules
• Weekend and holiday availability is a plus
