Scott Weinstein, a Montgomery County native, is
considered by many as the DC restaurant scene’s
preeminent expert on the bounty of the sea. As
Fish Monger at BlackSalt Fish Market &
Restaurant, “Scottie” selects the freshest, top grade
seasonal seafood for the gourmet market and
award-winning restaurant, providing the most
comprehensive breadth of aquaculture of any
market in the Washington, DC region.
Receiving a B.A. in Business & Sociology from
the University of Maryland at College Park in
2001, Scott sought out a personal desire to learn
the business – and art – of the kitchen, joining the
Black Restaurant Group family as a line cook at
Addie’s in Rockville. After a shift to Black’s Bar
& Kitchen, Scott attended Le Cordon Bleu in
Ottawa, receiving Le Grand Diplome in Culinary Arts in 2004. Upon graduation, he
joined the opening team at BlackSalt Fish Market & Restaurant, which debuted in the
Palisades neighborhood of Washington, DC in December 2004 to grand acclaim. His
fascination from Le Cordon Bleu with cooking & preparing seafood developed into a full
time job as DC’s only restaurant-based Fish Monger at the BlackSalt Fish Market.
Scott now oversees the purchasing and preparation of BlackSalt’s high quality seafood &
luxury accoutrements for the Fish Market. Under Scott’s guidance, BlackSalt buys from
mostly Mid-Atlantic farmers from New York to South Carolina, supporting smaller ‘hook
& line’ domestic fishermen who seek quality over quantity. Keeping his fingers on the
pulse of industry and consumer aquaculture trends, Scott advises customers on pristine
filleting, preparation and cooking processes to maintain maximum flavor for the day’s
freshest catches.* Scott and his team also acquire fresh sides & seasonings at the market
to present BlackSalt customers with the ideal complete meal.

Puppy Drums, Sea Trout, Snapper, and Baby Octopus.
