An ode to the Grateful Dead

Lost Sailor Fish and Gourmet is a new market in Sylvan Lake that offers a unique hybrid concept that combines a seafood market with a few tables for casual dining as well as carry-out. With a focus on fresh, sustainably sourced seafood and prepared dishes, it brings a high-quality, approachable option to the local dining scene. The menu features rotating selections such as oysters, clams, and fresh fish, along with ready-to-eat items like seafood rolls, salads, and seasonal sides. Guests can enjoy food on-site or shop a curated selection of fresh seafood, meats, produce, and gourmet groceries to prepare at home. Owner and operator David Kraus has nearly 40 years of experience in the food industry and has held leadership roles at Michelin-starred and nationally recognized restaurants. Locally, Kraus orchestrated the openings of Adachi and Zana in Birmingham and Zao Jun in Bloomfield. He describes the restaurant’s name, drawn from a Grateful Dead song, as reflecting the spirit of discovery: “The name ‘Lost Sailor’ reflects our belief that true discovery often comes from venturing off course, whether in life or in the kitchen,” said Krause. 2534 Orchard Lake Road, Sylvan Lake lostsailorgourmet.com
