Blackfish in Stone Harbor opens
Chip Roman's Jersey Shore operation, previously in Avalon, has gone downbeach.
Mother's Day marked the debut of Blackfish's new operation in Stone Harbor (9628 Third Ave., 609-967-9100), the Jersey Shore sibling to Chip Roman's original in Conshohocken. Roman previously was in Avalon.
The 200-seater, with a 75-seat bar, used to be Henny's.
Roman and partner John Sprandio brought in Stokes Architecture, which did Philly's Continental Mid-town and Atlantic City's Buddakan and Continental.
It's open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Here's the dinner menu; starters are $10 to $19, entrees $28 to $39, desserts $7 to $12.
The kicker: This spot won't be permanent. This Blackfish is the first phase of a three-phase project called Shelter Haven Resort & Spa. This fall, they'll start construction on a "green" hotel across the street. Blackfish Stone Harbor will move into the hotel when it is completed in February 2011.
