PORTSMOUTH This Saturday, Dec. 12, will be the final night to enjoy the smoked seafood chowder and haddock piccata paired with a local brew at Jumpin’ Jays Fish Cafe in Portsmouth before the restaurant goes on a winter hiatus.
Announced on Facebook on Tuesday, the restaurant s staff thanked the community for its continued support and promised to “return in early spring, revitalized and renewed.”
“The numbers aren t adding up. We were staying open just for our employees and losing money. Some of our employees said, ‘It s just not working, and we see that. We appreciate what you re doing.’ We were trying to give it a go to the end of the month, but Saturday will be our last day, and the last night, til probably sometime in March,” said Jumpin’ Jay’s owner Jay McSharry.
