| - This was such a great meal! I went with my best friend who also loves seafood. We had the half dozen oysters on the half shell and the turtle soup to start. The raw oysters are an old favorite, while the turtle soup is definitely a new one. It was served with a slice of lime and a shot of cooking sherry to be added to taste. The mixed basket of bread on the table was perfect for dipping into the dark flavorful soup (my favorite was the olive bread), and the soup was gone quickly. The turtle meat had been completely removed from the turtle and shredded. It had the consistency of shredded pork, but just a little different. If you've never had it, I highly recommend trying it. Not only because it's delicious, but because it's always good to step out of your food comfort zone, especially for something so tasty. I promise you will be licking the little bits of turtle meat off of the spoon :-)
For the main courses we ordered the swordfish with mango salsa and the pound and a half of king crab legs. The mango salsa was a great contrast to the seared swordfish. It was also perfectly cooked and not too dry, which, in my limited experience, seems to be difficult with swordfish. The swordfish also came with a salad, steamed veggies and either a baked potato or rice. Now to finish this off with the best part: the crab legs were amazing! The server asked us if we wanted him to crack them and after saying yes, he dazzled us with his wicked awesome crab leg cracking skills. Every piece was ready to be eaten, and only very little use of the very small fork given, was needed. On a side note, king crab is the way to go if you have the choice. the smaller opilio crab doesn't ever really give you a good sized bite of crab, but king crab is all big juicy bites of meaty crab goodness.
The Salt Cellar was a dimly lit cozy environment. The walk down the stairs into the cellar should have been a warning that we were going to have to climb out of there, which may have limited out excessive food intake :-) there was a cocktail lounge if you just want to have a beverage, and two dining rooms which have great beach and ocean landscape pictures on the walls. The staff was very friendly, and so were the live lobsters in the giant tank as you walk in. This is a great place to take a friend or a rather impressive place for a first date. Just make sure that he/she likes seafood.
