Saltie Girl owner Kathy Sidell is going back to her roots. Next spring-ish, she plans to open the Shell Bar in the South End, taking over the Tremont Street space that housed B&G Oysters for over two decades. Expect kettle-fried fish and chips, a raw bar that goes well beyond oysters, and a design scheme built for "romance"—dark and intimate, with just 38 seats inside. Read more about the @saltiegirl team's new project @theshellbarbos at the link in our bio. 🖋️ Rachel Leah Blumenthal (@blumie625) 📸 Mike Cotrone (@mikecotrone)
