(Fort Collins, CO—Dec. 15, 2016) – Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar, an exceptional and sustainability-oriented seafood restaurant located at 123 N. College Ave. in downtown Fort Collins, invites the community to celebrate New Year’s Eve with a special dining experience. Patrons can enjoy a three-course prix fixe menu all night that reflects the Jax Fish House commitment to serve sustainable seafood.
“As 2016 comes to an end, we want to celebrate the promise of a new year with our community in Jax’s upbeat and energetic environment,” said Jax General Manager Rick Compton. “The night will include extra-special cuisine for a truly memorable evening.”
Each item on the menu has been guided by Jax Fish House’s mission to serve sustainable seafood. The three-course prix fixe menu will feature an assortment of uniquely prepared seafood items, as well as a la carte options and a raw bar throughout the night. One featured delicacy is Colorado bass wrapped in sheets of kombu, a type of seaweed that is delivered fresh from Monterey Bay Seaweeds, a sustainable seaweed farm located on the western edge of California’s Salinas Valley. The bass is from Colorado Catch, a sustainable fish farm in Alamosa.
“Consumers are much more socially conscious today,“ explains Compton. “We are concerned about global oceanic fish stocks and only partner with fisheries that implement responsible fishing methods. Sustainable seafood enhances the dining experience for our guests and for us.”
Cost to attend the New Year’s Eve dinner event is $50 per person, and reservations are required. Please call (970) 682-2275 to secure your spot.
