Contact: Matthew Haley Bryony Zeigler 7 Leeds Way Rehoboth Beach, De 19971 Phone: 302.436.8600 (Haley) 302.228.0752 (Zeigler) www.sodelconcepts.com haleymatthew@msn.com zeiglerbryony@msn.com At the site of the popular Shark’s Cove Marina and Restaurant in Fenwick Island, De. partners Matthew Haley and Harry Geller of SoDel Concepts will open the highly anticipated Catch 54 Fish House and Marina. Spearheaded by the creative force of chef/owner Haley, this will be the fourth restaurant from SoDel Concepts, the award-winning group who also created Bluecoast Seafood Grill in North Bethany Beach, Fish On in Lewes, and Northeast Seafood Kitchen in Ocean View. Catch 54 will continue the model of excellent food, service, and atmosphere set by its predecessors, offering classic beach style seafood. The emphasis will remain on fresh, local, traditional selections in a fun, sunny setting. Diners can expect familiar faces and dishes with an updated décor of simple vibrancy. Slated to open in Spring ’07, the new spot, joined with a bayside marina, will be open for lunch and dinner year round with available indoor and outdoor seating, private events rooms, large indoor bar and dockside tiki bar, all with magnificent waterfront views and plenty of parking. Dinner will be served from 4:00 and a late night menu will be available. Catch 54 will also spotlight Saturday and Sunday brunch and Sunday cookouts on the patio. Since moving to the area eight years ago, Haley, a Washington, D.C. native, has built a strong relationship with the lower Delaware community. He can be seen regularly teaching cooking on television on Comcast’s RVG channel, Sea Colony’s “Beach Eats” program, and monthly Friday morning segments of the WBOC morning news. He writes about his experiences in publications such as The Coastal Point newspaper, Travel Host Magazine and The Bystander Magazine. He also makes personal appearances at monthly Food Chat series held at Booksandcoffee in Dewey Beach and devotes much of his time to youth outreach for troubled teens. He says of the new project, “we have researched all of the old school local fish house menus dating back through the years: the old Sea Horse, Lamp Post and a lot of local back bay restaurants. We hope to infuse that kind of flavor in what we do here at Catch 54.” Suggestions from the community are welcome and should be sent through the website www.catch54.com.
