Living on the Gulf Coast means growing up learning to love to eat seafood. We even joke about being on a “sea” (see) food diet. I have long loved good fish, scallops and especially shrimp. When ever I “see” these foods, I definitely want to continue my “see” (sea) food diet!

I just learned about a great sounding new restaurant. It is a classy looking place only a few miles up the road from me. This fine dining restaurant, The Oceanaire, is designed to look like a sleek 1930s ocean liner and the menu is “Ultra Fresh”. This means that each day, they have fresh sea food flown in from all over the world. The food on your plate tonight might have been swimming in the ocean yesterday! It is caught, shipped in refrigerated transport, put into a special walk in cooler where it will be butchered before being put on the grill, and finally to your plate. The menu selections change daily based on availability to ensure the freshest seafood available.

The atmosphere of the Oceanaire is unique. It’s sleek look coupled with it’s shore line comfort makes it suitable for any occasion. It is especially for lovers of fresh seafood. For some it is the place for fish & chips and a beer. For others, it is their oyster bar. And others come for the 5 lb lobster and champagne. It is the kind of place that satisfies every seafood loving palate. The menu looks amazing! From the Grand Shellfish Platter, to the clam chowder, to the salmon, mahi mahi and the snapper, continuing with the steamed asparagus and baked sweet potato, followed by key lime pie, chocolate caramel brownie or even a root beer float, everything looks temptingly delicious!

The Oceanaire has locations across the country. So if you are thinking of Private Dining San Diego to restaurant corporate events Atlanta the Oceanaire may be just what you are looking for!

A few posts back you see where I talked about my daughter reading Tuck Everlasting. One of her assignments was to post a review on Amazon.com. You can find her review of the book here . Although she did not really review the book outside of saying “good book” and filling in four stars, I do like how she summed up the story.

I am still trying to finish Les Miserables. It seems now as if I am force feeding myself. It seems never ending. I don’t know if this is because I had just read Tale of Two Cities before getting back to this one. I am not enjoying the writing style in this book so much and now that I am back to the revolution scene, it makes me think that France was in a constant state of revolution for some time. (I have no background in French history!) But I literally feel as if I’ve been eating a meal that I wanted, that I ordered, and now, I am sick of it. I am choking on it, forcing myself to finish it…I certainly hope this one ends up being worth the read, as was Two Cities.
