When day dips toward dusk, Ventnor’s skies become a study in pastel, pinks giving way to violets. Driving down the main drag, it’s the ideal time to admire the deep salmon-hued exterior of Water Dog Smoked Fish, which opened its permanent digs here this fall after several successful years on the farmers’ market circuit.
This is very much a win for the local dining community. Though the set-up is modern casual, anchored by deli cases and a creative menu of sandwiches, poke bowls, and salads, the food evokes the owners’ fascination with the art of smoking meat.
