OCEAN PRIME New York Gets Ready for National Oyster Day

OCEAN PRIME New York is getting ready to celebrate one of its dearest food holidays - National Oyster Day.

To make the day particularly special, the restaurant will be serving Pemaquid Oysters, a species so lauded, there is a festival dedicated to them every year in Maine.

From the deep waters of Damariscotta River, Maine, Pemaquid Oysters are harvested from a point where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean, giving them plump, very firm meat which is mildly sweet with a clean, lemon zest flavor and solid brininess.

Guests searching a more unique dining experience can enjoy their bivalves in the Lounge where Executive Chef Eugenio Reyes, Sous Chef Patrick Rodemeyer, and their team will be conducting a live shucking.

To compliment the evening, OCEAN PRIME Beverage Director, Ryan Valentine, recommends guests pair Domaine Chandon Brut with the Pemaquid Oysters.

OCEAN PRIME New York is located at 123 West 52nd St. (between 6th and 7th Avenues). National Oyster Day is Saturday, August 5th, 2017.

Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan at West 52nd Street and Avenue of the Americas, OCEAN PRIME New York evokes timeless elegance with warm woods, captivating lighting and a welcoming yet sophisticated atmosphere. OCEAN PRIME New York is a modern American restaurant and lounge from renowned restaurateur Cameron Mitchell. The award-winning restaurant delivers an extraordinary experience with stunning settings, an impressive menu, signature cocktails, a Wine Spectator-honored wine list and truly genuine hospitality.
