A round up of North Shore restaurant and food news.
Here's our round up of the area's latest food news: Have you been to the revamped Wild Horse yet? The comfort food/beer mecca did a complete renovation of the interior. Here are the details. Big news — Salem is getting a fish market! When I moved to Salem in December, I was surprised that the nearest one was the excellent Cherry Street Fish Market in Danvers. The new spot, a combination market/restaurant, will be an outpost of Turner's in Melrose. The Turners will be in the old 43 Church space downtown. This is also something of a Danvers story, since Turner's had been eyeing a parcel off 128 before deciding to go for the Salem location. Recently-opened Castiello's Bakery aims to "bring the North End to the North Shore." In other news in …

Here's our round up of the area's latest food news: A restaurant with a better-defined Latin ethnic focus has announced it will open on Wallis Street this spring. La Victoria Taqueria is proudly and clearly Mexican. A&E's real estate show, "Flipping Boston" is tweaking their format a bit next week to "flip" the host's own pizza place in Danvers.
