The anniversary party is Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 702 Fisherman’s Wharf on Fort Myers Beach.

The anniversary celebration features $3 drafts all day, live music from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and a raffle to win a Bonita Fish Company swag bag filled with goodies and a $100 restaurant gift card.

The special entrée items include seafood risotto with P.E.I. mussels, littleneck clams, jumbo shrimp and the local catch in a saffron shellfish broth with charred citrus and Calabrian chili-glazed jumbo wings with crispy shallots, cilantro and lime cheek. Diners can also select oysters Rockefeller featuring a half-dozen East Coast oysters with spinach-and-cream reduction, Pernod, Grana Padana cheese and herb-and-garlic breadcrumbs or the coconut-crusted triple tail with jasmine rice, red coconut curry and mango salsa. A special dessert will top off the anniversary menu.

The special menu item that receives the highest number of votes becomes Bonita Fish Company’s newest menu addition.

Bonita Fish Company continues the tradition of its predecessors as a community gathering spot. Located in a historic fish-packing house, built in 1926, the restaurant was most recently Bonita Bill’s. The building was thoughtfully renovated to combine the feel of a dockside fish house with modern comfort and a welcoming atmosphere.

Today, it elevates the dockside experience on Fisherman’s Wharf with Bayside Private Events, an indoor-outdoor waterfront event venue accommodating plated dinners for 70 guests and up to 150 people for standing receptions.  The destination is one of a select few standalone waterfront event spaces in Lee County.
