New dried fish delicacy on the menu

This locally smoked fish is very popular with the regular customers

The process makes almost the entire fish edible

Merry christmas from the kitchens

Only the freshest fish for Devil Reef

Haven’t really mentioned the fish we serve at Devil Reef.

They all come from the early morning fish market down by Innsmouth Docks. The vendors always have the most amazing selection of fish caught just the day/night before.

The old market building has lots of character

You need to get there whilst it's still dark to get the best fish

Much of the original Victorian equipment is still used

Fish don't get fresher than this - no net damage either...

On the way back to the bar, blue skies start to show behind the market

New exotic local delicacy – NOW at Devil Reef

Locally caught and bottled for local sale to locals only...

Found this is a local store – Pickled Vampire Squid.

Tastes amazing and is now on offer with our locally sourced cheeses.

New reasons to come back to Devil Reef

We're now doing early afternoon opening once a week - these locally sourced cakes are very popular.

We're doing a limited edition cocktail, from our local Big Game Hunter - called the Ginga Pudding

The local fishermen are bringing in some amazing lobsters, very tasty. But very aggresive, need chainsaw protective gloves to handle them...

In search of the correct tiki taste…

In our search for the complete tiki taste.

We now offer, Sepik River Double Expresso – strong enough to take your head off!!

Local dived mussels now on the menu

Local mussels

Fresh local mussels with garlic, onion, cream and a light white rum served with homemade bread with sea salt crust.

These are some of the best mussels I’ve ever tasted, not sure if it’s due to them being so fresh (caught same day off the reef) or that they might be a new species.

Food menu worked on

After the high point of the curries from Paul Storm on opening night, we’re working on the grill menu.

Using locally sourced crayfish from the Manuxet River, we’ve got an amazing crayfish stew planned.

No fresher than river to pot in less than 30 mins

Opening night – huge success

It was a bit of a rush with all the last minute details that needing sorting, but the night was a big success.

First up – thanks to everyone that helped out and supported, special thanks to Paul Storm for the great Thai food and to local Milton for the very interesting Black Marsh Pie.

Here’s some of the photos, in no real order…

We just about kept up with the cocktail orders with the big crowd

To entertain during the early evening we have a live web cam feed from the bottom of Devil Reef projected onto the wall. Find it here http://www.teamorca.org/eyeinthesea.htm, thanks Colin for tech support.

Our display of artifacts from the old bar drew a lot of interest

Trader Jim and I enjoy some rare devil reef rum

We used the famous cheekytiki zombie sharing bowl, with flaming axed zombie head in the centre

Ask me about "the of curse of the zombie bowl"

Zombie feeding frenzy - a true tiki sharing drink

One man knew of the curse and kept his distance...

Our guest chef did us proud with two excellent Thai offerings

Fire and cocktails - always fun

The last few standing enjoy a Stormy chilli cocktail in the new mug

The fallout on one of the main tables

By 4am the bar was looking tired too

4.30am - The last of us ended up in the kitchen - like all good parties

Everyone went home with an exclusive opening night Deep One tiki shot mug

Thanks to everyone for coming out and making it a great night and a fab start to the newest bar in Innsmouth, MA. We’re open from 7.30 til 1.00 every night, except Wed.

Fresh fruit arrives

We have had the delivery of all the fruit for the launch, limes, lemons, oranges and of course lots of pineapples…

just one of the cases of limes

selected for freshness and spears for decoration
