The Salmon Cart
& The Best Ever Salmon Sandwich!
A Health Department's Dream!
It all began with a purchase of an axel... And there was no turning back!
Construction of the cart incorporated stainless surfaces, grey water tanks, broilers, flat tops, double burners, and umbrellas, alongside pressurized water and heat valves. We wanted something that met all the highest standards for safety and efficiency, and yet was aesthetically fabulous!
​
Additionally, a key feature is its silent operation, achieved through the use of electric batteries charged at home, which power lighting and pumps.
​
Events and Appearances
The Salmon Cart has appeared in many events, from the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend to Rhody Fest, as well as the Race to Alaska. It graced several private weddings and continues to be a staple at the Port Townsend Farmers Market.
​
The cart's ability to operate quietly and efficiently, without detracting from the ambiance of events, makes it a favorite among event organizers and attendees alike.
Best Ever Salmon Sandwich!
A key menu item is the Best Ever Salmon Sandwich, featuring Coho salmon which is beautifully filleted, pin-boned, portioned, seasoned, and grilled to perfection.
The sandwich is served open-faced with vibrant seasonal greens, and a very special tartar sauce atop a Pane d'Amore panini lightly toasted with garlic butter and is crowned with a fresh, delicious local fried egg.
Yum!!
In addition to the Best Ever Salmon Sandwich, we offer a Black Cod Sandwich, featuring a marinated black cod filet grilled to perfection, served in the same panini bread, paired with a mouth-watering, fresh Asian slaw.
During cooler months, an incredible smoked salmon chowder is also available, made with great local ingredients.
It's About The People!
At the heart of it, it's all about the folks involved: Lela Hilton, who's steered The Salmon Cart through the years, Linda from Pane D'Amorewho created our amazing panini loaves, our fishermen and artists, and of course the community that gathers to enjoy our offerings, and the festive spirit of Cape Cleare!
