ENJOY SPECIALTY SEAFOOD AND A TRADITIONAL NEW ENGLAND CLAMBAKE EACH MONTH THIS SUMMER AT TURNER FISHERIES

 
Boston, MA, August 5, 2003 - During the summer months, Turner Fisheries has been infusing its specialty seafood menu with dishes reaching into the oceans around the globe.

In August, seafood-lovers get fresh with seafood from the Gulf Coast including Turner's own version of Gulf Snapper Ceviché. Grouper and Pompano will be char grilled with spices from the West Indies. These entrées are
perfect when accompanied by a thirst-quenching Mojito. Turners has
created "Mojito Madness" with several versions of this trendy drink featuring different combinations of mints like chocolate-mint, pineapple-mint, orange-mint, and of course, regular mint. Those who chose not to partake of these spirits can enjoy refreshing non-alcoholic iced teas infused with fruit purees of blackberry, kiwi or mango.

This September, from the pristine waters of Iceland, Chef de Cuisine Eric Heinrich is passionately preparing a variety delicate fish, such as: Arctic Char, Bronzini, Redfish, and the sweet tasting Langustino. Restaurant manager Jody Hornak was inspired to create a unique "Platinum Martini" to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Turner Fisheries and the Westin Copley Place Boston this month, and as the perfect accompaniment to Chef Heinrich's specialty dishes. This tasty aperitif is concocted from Absolute Citron, Cointreau, white cranberry juice, and garnished with platinum sugar beads. Eye catching and sweet, this cocktail is sure to be a favorite at Turner Fisheries this summer. Additionally, "Oyster Shooters" will be on the menu as well. These shots combine an assortment of vodkas with a freshly shucked oyster at the bottom of the glass. An interesting way to sample Turner's signature raw bar item.

Finally, in celebration of a classic New England Summer tradition, Turner Fisheries will offer its famous clambake entrée Friday and Saturday nights.

Join in on the summer's most favored meal with a cup of Turner's "Hall-of-Fame" clam chowder, steamed Maine lobster with drawn butter, Chatham's top neck clams, and Prince Edward Island mussels. This personal New England clambake is completed with sweet corn on the cob, red bliss potatoes, corn bread, and Boston crème pie for dessert. Price is $49.00 per person, plus tax.

The famed Turner Fisheries has recently re-opened following a three million-dollar renovation. The menu has been revised as well featuring current, native seafood dishes and Turner's Hall-of-Fame clam chowder. The restaurant's new design scheme includes Terrazzo tile from Italy, floor to ceiling mahogany paneling, Hollywood banquettes and seven foot high French Café bi-fold opening windows overlooking Copley Square. The most spectacular addition is the creation of three new private dining rooms, which can accommodate up to 140 people. Turner Fisheries is located at the Westin Copley Place Hotel, 10 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA, 02116. Phone: (617) 424-7425. Visit us at www.turnersboston.com
