SEATTLE — The Seattle waterfront is changing majorly but Fisherman's Restaurant & Bar is open for business serving up waterfront views and delicious dishes from their new menu. Chef Nick Novello made it his mission to reduce the food waste the restaurant produces, inspiring an innovative Shrimp Brodo with a broth enriched by some of the 1,500 shrimp shells the restaurant produces in a month. Chef Novello joins New Day Northwest to make his Shrimp Brodo with housemade ricotta dumplings and talk about other tasty treats you can find on the menu.
