Saltwater Grill Menu & Prices

Find the lunch plates, fried seafood, grilled fish and crab-stuffed specialties at the Cimarron Boulevard restaurant. Portion counts and included sides matter here: the same dish can appear as a starter, a lunch plate and a larger entrée.

Same name, different plate

Read the count before comparing the price

The appetizer can look much cheaper until you account for the sides or the extra seafood on a full entrée. These three examples show exactly why the menu repeats some names.

DishAppetizerLunchMain entrée
Crab Cakes$9.992 cakes; tartar sauce$13.992 cakes; rice & vegetables$18.993 cakes; rice & vegetables
Parmesan Shrimp$10.996 shrimp; signature sauce$13.996 shrimp; rice & vegetables$18.998 shrimp; rice & vegetables
Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp$11.994 shrimp; rémoulade$15.994 shrimp; rice & vegetables$24.996 shrimp; rice & vegetables

Two mahi tacos or three?

Lunch Mahi Mahi Tacos are $13.99 for two; the main-menu order is $17.99 for three. Both list fries. The $4 difference also changes the taco count, so it is not a like-for-like price increase.

Lunch ends at 4pm

The lunch window is Tuesday through Saturday, 11am–4pm. Sunday is an operating day, but it is outside the published lunch schedule. Monday is closed.

Three different starting points

Choose by the texture you want

Rare-seared tuna, crisp calamari and rich stuffed shrimp lead to quite different meals. Here is what separates them.

Sesame tuna at Saltwater Grill Corpus Christi
Sesame Tuna · $13.99 A 6oz appetizer, seared rare, with sesame, ponzu and sriracha aioli. Choose it for the rare center rather than a fully cooked fish plate.
Fried calamari at Saltwater Grill Corpus Christi
Fried Calamari · $11.99 Seasoned-flour breading with sriracha aioli and sweet chili sauce. This is a crisp starter rather than an entrée with included sides.
Bacon-wrapped crab-stuffed shrimp at Saltwater Grill
Stuffed Shrimp · three formats Crab filling, bacon and rémoulade make this the richer option. Use the portion table above to choose the appetizer, lunch plate or entrée.
What is already included?

A few ordering details worth noticing

Pasta already includes a salad

The pasta section includes garlic bread and a side salad. Before adding another salad, decide whether you actually want a second one. Alfredo is $17.99; Cajun Pasta and Seafood Mac N Cheese are $21.99.

A steak comes with its own sides

The $27.99 New York Strip and $29.99 ribeye list a baked potato, vegetables and garlic bread. Four grilled or blackened shrimp can be added for $6.99, or four sautéed scallops for $8.99.

Fried sampler or one seafood?

The $22.99 SWG Fried Sampler includes 4oz fish, two shrimp, two oysters and a crab cake. It offers variety; the $17.99 shrimp platter focuses on six shrimp. Both list fries and coleslaw.

Happy hour and chef’s specials

The restaurant’s specials page currently says its offers are being updated. Call for today’s happy-hour pricing or chef’s catch before planning around a discount. Lunch is a published menu, with its own prices and portion sizes.
