Fleet Landing on Thursday announced the release of The Fleet Landing Cookbook – a collection of recipes highlighting the drinks, dips, dishes, and desserts that diners have enjoyed from the downtown waterfront restaurant. The cookbook features photography, chef insights, and techniques to tell the story of Fleet Landing.
“We are so excited to be able to share this cookbook with you all,” said Weesie Newton, co-owner of Fleet Landing. “We have poured our hearts into this project for over a year now, and it wouldn’t have come together without our amazing team, vendors, and partners who have helped shape the restaurant these last 20 years. The cookbook is really a tribute to them— and to the wonderful guests we’ve had the honor of serving throughout the years.”
The Fleet Landing Cookbook features 68 home-cook-friendly recipes straight from the restaurant menu and 48 photos, ranging from cocktails to starters, sides, soups, sandwiches, raw bar items, entrees, seasonal dishes, and desserts. Recipe highlights include:
- Charleston Sunset: vodka, coconut rum, peach schnapps, pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, orange wedge, and maraschino cherry
- Fried Green Tomato Stack with Tarragon Crab Salad: green tomatoes, panko crumbs, shellfish cream sauce, tarragon crab salad, cherry tomatoes, and mixed greens
- Fleet’s Caprese Oysters: freshly shucked oysters, creme fraiche, balsamic vinegar-marinated tomato rind, pesto oil, and lemon wedge
- Seafood Pasta: fettuccine, unsalted butter, minced garlic, andouille sausage, crawfish tails, muscles, fresh shrimp, white wine, heavy cream, asparagus, parsley, basil, grape tomatoes, and parmesan cheese
- Pecan Pie: pecans, sugar, eggs, corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla extract, and vanilla ice cream
The Fleet Landing Cookbook will be available for purchase at Fleet Landing and through their online shop for $38. It will also be sold in-store at local bookstore, Buxton Books. Additional retail availability is expected in the coming months.
