Wining & Dining Oceanaire Thinks Pink with Pink Ribbon Oysters
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Oceanaire Seafood Room will feature Pink Ribbon Oysters throughout October. A percentage of the oysters purchased by the Oceanaire will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Pink Ribbon Oysters are wild diver oysters, harvested from the frigid waters of the Long Island Sound. Oystermen navigate the North Shore of Long Island in search of these coveted delicacies. Once harvested from the dark bottom of the Atlantic by scuba divers, each oyster is meticulously cleaned and graded by hand by experts for the highest quality product. Naturally salty, petite and plump, Pink Ribbon Oysters do not have cracks in their shells, ensuring optimal, natural moisture. Diners will delight knowing that 25% of every Pink Ribbon Oyster purchase is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a charity determined to find a cure for the disease that touches the lives of millions of Americans, by personal experience or association. “We are thrilled to offer guests decadent Pink Ribbon Oysters throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Wade Wiestling, Vice President of Culinary Development. “The combination of one-of-a-kind seafood and charitable giving was a natural fit for the Oceanaire.” The Oceanaire provides the perfect setting to enjoy the freshest seafood flown in daily from around the
world. The Oceanaire’s knowledgeable staff provides guests with exceptional service by guiding them through the wide variety of items on the menu and selecting the perfect wine to complement any meal. The Oceanaire is located at 1400 Arapahoe Street, the hours of operation are: Monday – Saturday 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. For more information about The Oceanaire or to make reservations, please call 303-991-2277.
