Jay’s Smoothie Bar offers cold-pressed juices, smoothies, protein shakes, and salad bowls.The owner and chef of Island Fish Head, Alvin Morris started a catering food service in his backyard in Queens, New York on March 15th, 2013 as a means to provide for his family during a shift in his financial situation.

 

Following his passion for cooking, in June 2020, he opened his first Jamaican restaurant in Hartford Connecticut during the peak of the COVID pandemic.As the business grew and the demand for cold-pressed natural juices and smoothies increased, Island Fish Head partnered with the owner of Jay’s Smoothie Bar, Jaynel Slythe.

 

With this collaboration, the restaurant is now known as Island Fish Head and Jay’s Smoothie Bar.
