From Bay Shore to the Beach: Fire Island Food Trends Delivered by Tula Kitchen
June 24, 2025

Long Island summers are about slowing down, eating well, and soaking up every golden hour. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape to Fire Island or hopping on the ferry for a day in the sun, there’s one thing locals and visitors agree on: great food makes a great getaway.

But here’s the challenge. Fire Island’s dining scene is small and seasonal, with limited hours, long wait times, and few options for health-conscious eaters. That’s where Tula Kitchen steps in.

Located just steps from the Bay Shore ferry terminal, Tula Kitchen brings thoughtful, chef-driven meals directly to your ferry. Everything is delivered fresh and ready for your ride across the bay.

What’s Trending on Fire Island This Summer

Tula Kitchen has always led with intention, freshness, and flavor. With over 20 years of experience creating vibrant meals from locally sourced ingredients, the team at Tula is not just keeping up with food trends, they’re setting them.

1. Beach-Ready Wellness Meals

From protein-packed grain bowls to colorful roasted veggie platters and citrusy seafood options, wellness is on the menu. Fire Island-goers want meals that taste indulgent but feel light, and Tula delivers just that.

2. Plant-Based Takes on Classic Summer Fare

More guests are seeking vegan and vegetarian-friendly picnic spreads, especially for dockside dining and post-swim lounging. Tula’s catering menu includes creative, plant-forward dishes that satisfy even the most devoted carnivores.

3. Travel-Friendly Presentation

Meals are carefully packaged for transport, whether you’re boarding a private boat or the public ferry. No mess. No mush. Just beautiful food, made to move.
Tula does not use insulated containers. Orders are dropped at the boat and reach the island within the hour.

4. Allergy-Conscious Dining That Doesn’t Feel “Diet”

Tula Kitchen’s allergy-trained staff makes eating with restrictions not just safe but elevated. Whether it’s gluten-free brunch bakes, dairy-free dressings, or nut-conscious prep, you’re covered.

  • Weekend getaways with friends
