New spots for chicken wings, beer, pork and oysters are on the way and, lucky for us, popular places for milkshakes and burgers are opening second locations.

Here are new restaurants opening in the Indianapolis area in September.

California Burger

6020 E. 82nd St, Indianapolis, californiaburgerinc.com

Projected opening: Sept. 1

California Burger opens its second location -- in Castleton -- not even a year after the opening of its west side debut that resulting in hour-long waits. 

Owned by, you guessed it, a California native, the place will serve burgers made from fresh patties; melts, chicken sandwiches, wings, fries and shakes. 

The Beerded Swine

501 N. College Ave., Indianapolis, thebeerdedswine.com 

Projected opening: September

From Lisa Abendroth, the owner of the downtown Columbus, Ind.-based The Savory Swine, comes a two-story complex with a meat market and lounge offering wine and craft beer.

Stop by the Lockerbie Square digs for everything from custom-cut and grab-and-go meats to dine-in or take-out sandwiches like roast beef stacked with red pepper and onion relish plus blue cheese-marbled jack cheese. Take-out, heat-and-eat dishes will include The Savory Swine's popular lasagna with ground beef and housemade sausage. And custom charcuterie boards will be available to enjoy onsite.

Chicken Scratch

5308 N. Keystone Ave., Indianapolis, instagram.com/chickenscratchindy 

Projected opening: September 5

Cajun restaurant Chef Tia & Co. is spinning off its popular gourmet wings and fries into a dedicated takeout spot in south Broad Ripple. Wings were the focus of the restaurant every Wednesday when it added extra house-made sauce options to the standard honey hot. 

Look for cooked-to-order wings, chicken sandwiches, tenders and boneless wings along with piles of hand-cut fries, including crab fries topped with seasoned lump meat crab meat, Cajun aioli and parmesan cheese; and loaded garlic buffalo fries with housemade garlic Cajun ranch, hand-breaded chicken tenders, bacon, and Cajun seasoning.

Chicken Scratch had been slated to open near Chef Tia & Co at 4955 W. Washington St., until owner Tia Harrison decided on putting some space between the two.

Chef Tia & Co.

4955 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, 317-300-1411, cheftia.com

Projected reopening: Sept. 25

Speaking of space, Chef Tia & Co. reopens Sept. 25 after being closed for renovations since late April. It will have about twice the original 20-person seating capacity. 

Coming back are the chicken and sausage gumbo, Cajun shrimp and grits and lamb chops. And new items include a fried seafood platter and crab cake sliders. Sadly, wings and most of the over-the-top loaded hand-cut fries are coming off of the menu and moving to the new Chicken Scratch brand.

It's owned by chef Samir Mohammad, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco and The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa, and his wife Rachel Firestone Mohammad.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
