Event Details
Not all oysters are created equal. Some are small and briny, some are buttery and mild—but every once in a while, you come across an oyster so fresh, so perfectly balanced, that it feels like the ocean itself is on your plate. That’s what we found with Prestige Gulf Oysters.
Their journey starts deep in the Gulf waters, where they’re raised in nutrient-rich tides that give them their bold, clean flavor. Each one grows to a hefty 3 to 4+ inches, making them some of the biggest, most beautiful oysters you’ll ever see. From there, they’re carefully harvested, packed with care, and begin the long trek north.
We make the trip ourselves, bringing Prestige oysters straight from the Gulf Coast to the Purple People Feeder in the San Juans. And when they hit your table—whether freshly shucked on the half shell or packed up to-go—they carry that same salty breeze and ocean taste that made us fall in love with them in the first place.
For us, serving Prestige isn’t just about bringing in an ingredient—it’s about bringing a piece of the Gulf home to Colorado. Every oyster tells that journey, and every bite reminds us why we go the extra mile to get them here.
Want to taste it for yourself? Join us this weekend—Saturday, Sept 13 at the Neon Mallard in Pagosa Springs—and see what it’s all about.
