Says Advertising Director Don Lum: "We've seen a significant increase in fish consumption in the past two years." Their expanded line offers for between $5 and $8 complete main courses such as shrimp, lobster, crab, salmon, New Zealand whitefish, orange roughy, John Dory, hoki, halibut and swordfish.
