Chef Marcus Lee plans to open a new seafood restaurant on the Lower East Side later this year. The concept, tentatively named Tide, will focus on raw and lightly cooked fish dishes inspired by coastal cuisines from around the world. Lee, formerly of a noted seafood restaurant in Tribeca, said the menu will highlight simplicity and freshness. The location is a former bar space on Orchard Street, currently undergoing renovations. Lee expects to open by early summer, pending permits and construction timelines.
