Saltwater Eatery

Saltwater Eatery

Penny White opened Saltwater Eatery in Troy just a few months ago. Her eatery is famous for its lobster rolls, but also offers seafood pasta, poutine and other New Orleans fare. If you’re not a seafood fan, try the steak frites, chicken andouille pappardelle or the roasted veggie plate with balsamic and smashed redskin potatoes. The atmosphere is comfortable and semi-casual. Penny is looking forward to adding a Sunday New Orleans brunch, and the addition of Saltwater’s liquor license.

Nick Perrone and his business partner Vince Palazzolo have made a conscious decision to remain Michigan-based. Their company, operated out of Shelby Township, makes fresh – never frozen – sausages that are free of nitrates, MSG, corn syrup and other additives, and typically gluten-free as well. They’re made from fresh meat within 24 to 48 hours of arrival at the Shelby Township processing center, and then shipped to stores. Rinaldi offers 14 flavors of sausages, including the popular motor city sausage, with garlic, anise, paprika and cayenne, and the coney brat with cheese, which offers all the flavor without the mess. Find Rinaldi Sausages in Kroger and Meijer meat counters, Hollywood Market, Papa Joe’s and other independent stores.
