A man name Rick Antosh became surprised while he was eating oysters at a Manhattan restaurant in New York something unexpected and precious went from the plate to his mouth. It was a pearl worth thousands of dollars.
He was once out to take lunch with one of his friends and ordered his same menus on the Grand Central Oyster Bar on 5 December— the $14.75 pan roast, a stew-like dish that comes with six oysters.
The person told the New York Post that he felt a small object, pea-shaped, not perfectly round rolling around his mouth after diving into the dish.
“When I saw the black dot, that really intrigued me. What is that? I first thought, is this something that broke off a utensil from the kitchen?” he said.
He added “I’ve been here 28 years,” said Sandy Ingber, the restaurant’s executive chef. “This is only the second time I’ve seen this happen. And we sell over 5,000 oysters on the half shell every day.”
According to Matthew W Gray, an oyster physiologist at the University of Maryland, the chance of a pearl forming in an oyster is estimated at 1 in every 10,000. It usually occurs when a piece of sand gets in the shell.
Antosh stated he was not confirmed what to do with this precisious thing.
“I will definitely come back and try to find more pearls,” he said. “You never know.”
