Pier One X East 33 Oyster Deals
Pier One and East 33 are teaming up this summer to bring the Sydney Rock Oyster to Darling Harbour in fresh and exciting ways.
Overview
Walsh Bay hotel Pier One is dipping its toes into the Harbour City's ocean of oysters-on-a-budget dining options. The Sydney Rock oyster has been thriving in the waters of NSW for thousands of years. Today, they're a fine dining delicacy, and most have forgotten the history of the oyster as a historic food staple. Now, in partnership with oyster experts East 33, Pier One has set out to educate Sydneysiders about the rich past and versatile world of the Sydney Rock Oyster.
This summer, Pier One will be serving Sydney Rock Oysters from its own dedicated oyster harvest area at Cape Hawk. East 33's network of 41 estuaries, stretching from Byron Bay to Wonboyn Lake, will provide Pier with a seasonally rotating selection that will be shucked freshly in the kitchen or even tableside for a touch of theatre. To demonstrate the oyster's versatility, Pier One will be serving its Sydney Rock Oysters in three variations: freshly shucked; charred with smoked wagyu fat and coconut vinegar; and torched at tableside served with yuzu custard.
For those looking for a slightly more casual experience, Pier One's PIER Bar will be celebrating oysters during sunset hour with $2 oysters from 5–6pm, Mondays to Fridays. Keeping with the fresh, summer atmosphere, you'll be able to chase your oysters with new PIER Bar signature Mini Margarita Oyster Shooter Flights.
For the cherry on top, the hotel will open the Oyster Hotline in homage to its namesake's aphrodisiac qualities. Overnight hotel guests will be able to order a half-dozen ($39) or a dozen ($79) oysters to be delivered to their room within thirty minutes, complete with a bottle of champagne. Orders from the oyster hotline are "for emergencies of a more romantic nature", says Pier One.
