Sacramento's surge of seafood restaurants will get another new player this summer when Morgan Song extends his Maritime Seafood & Grill concept to Carmichael.

Song, who owns or is partner in Maritime Seafood & Grill restaurants in Woodland and Redding, as well as Old Post Office Seafood & Grill in Vacaville, says he is hoping to open the Carmichael branch of Maritime Seafood & Grill in late June or early July. The restaurant will occupy the site of the former Cops Donuts at 6440 Fair Oaks Blvd.

Song, whose odyssey as a restaurateur began in 1975 in San Francisco when he took a job as a dishwasher after arriving from his native Korea, says he is spending $800,000 to remodel the structure on top of the $1.4 million it cost him.
