This week, August 17 through August 22, Philadelphia’s Oyster House is teaming up with Fair Food to celebrate Local Seafood Week. You’re probably wondering what’s so special about Local Seafood Week. It’s simple – you get to eat lots of local seafood and at a good price!
The Oyster House will be offering shellfish and clams from some of the area’s best growers, including Forty North Oysters, Atlantic Cape Fisheries, Betsy’s Cape Shore Salts, Sweet Amalia Oyster Farm, Dias Creek, and Heritage Shellfish. Guests will have lots of yummy options to choose from too. One option is a half-dozen order of local oysters and clams for $14, served raw on the half shell with cocktail sauce and lemon. The second, the Local Pearl Platter, which includes six local oysters, six local clams, scallop ceviche, and New Jersey Bluefish dip for $38.
Oh and did we mention that 50 percent of the proceeds goes to Fair Food, an organization that has been uniting local farmers with businesses and consumers for over a decade. Fair Food promotes the importance of family farms and creates a year-round marketplace for fresh, local and humane food products in the Greater Philadelphia region.
