February Seafood Spotlight: Olympia Oysters & Schramsberg

This February we’re celebrating oysters as part of our 50th anniversary guest favorites! Specifically we’re showcasing Olympia oysters paired perfectly with Schramsberg sparkling wine. A match made in seafood heaven!

Ray’s has a long history with Olympia oysters — the only oyster truly native to the West coast, that was incredibly abundant but fell victim to over-harvesting and became nearly extinct by the 1980s.

To help save this oyster, food visionary Jon Rowley brought attention to its rich flavor and local history. He partnered with Ray’s to host an event for local and national media serving only Olympia oysters and Schramsberg sparkling wine to help revive the once-beloved oyster and keep it thriving for decades to come.

And it worked! Through demand and dedicated oyster farmers, Olympias became abundant once again and are now enjoyed throughout the region.

Start your lunch or dinner with Olympias and Schramsberg at Ray’s Boathouse and Cafe this February – available now until sold out!
