We will be serving fresh New England seafood flown in multiple times per week and prepared with our classic Sicilian recipes, that have satisfied seafood lovers for over 50 years!

  • Create seasonal specials using East Coast seafood and California ingredients.
  • Collaborate with ownership on menu development and profitability goals.
  • Uphold brand standards for quality, presentation, and hospitality.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of kitchen leadership (Executive Chef, Sous Chef, or Kitchen Manager).
  • Expertise in seafood and Italian cuisine.
  • Proven success in high-volume, full-service operations.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to thrive under pressure and lead by example.
  • Flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays.

  • Our Culture

    At The Daily Catch, we blend Sicilian passion with Boston grit and a love for the sea. We believe that great food starts with great people - passionate professionals who care deeply about the craft, the patrons, and the team around them. This is more than a kitchen; it's a legacy. Join us in bringing Boston's "King of Calamari" to the West Coast and help write the next chapter of The Daily Catch story.
