CHEF SHEILA LUCERO..........................................................................................A native of Denver, Colorado, Chef Sheila Lucero owes her love of cook-ing to her father, an avid cook and food connoisseur. While earning a degree in biology and playing soccer at Florida International University, she fell in love with the wonderful and varied cuisines of South Florida, and got her first taste of the energy and enthusiasm of professional kitchens while working in bakeries and delis. Bent on becoming a chef, she returned home to Colorado to attend the Colorado Art Institute, si-multaneously working in some of the finest kitchens of the Front Range. She joined the outstanding opening crew of Jax Fish House in Denver, working alongside culinary masterminds Dave Query and Jamey Fader.
Sheila quickly proved her mettle, and rose through the ranks to becomeChef de Cuisine in 2002. Jax Denver garnered widespread acclaim under her guidance, winning Best Seafood Restaurant in 5280 Maga-zine, Westword Magazine, City Search, and Rocky Mountain News. In 2009, she became the Executive Chef of Jax Fish House, and since then has helped open additional and equally awesome Jax locations in Fort Collins, Glendale, and Kansas City.
Ever mindful of the fact that, though we make our living by what we get,we make our lives by what we give, Sheila has donated her time and talents to numerous charity events such as The National Kidney Founda-tion Great Chefs of the West, The American Liver Foundation, Chefs Up Front (Share Our Strength), Do at the Zoo, and Project Angel Heart.
CHEF RICKY MYERS..........................................................................................Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Ricky has spread his love of home-cooked comfort food across the country and even in Europe! After studying at the Culinary School at the Art Institute of Denver Ricky earned his gourmet chops at some of the finest kitchens of the high country–the Wigwam Club, Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, Jet Stream Season-ing, and Next Door Food & Drink in Loveland.
Now working his magic at Jax Fish House, he works closely with local farms to create insanely tasty soul food that is not only good for you but also good for the community you live in. When he is not at work, Ricky can be found hiking and mountain biking with his wife, cooking with fresh ingredients from his garden, hanging out with his dogs and playing the guitar.
OUR PURVEYORS ..........................................................................................We strive to source the highest quality products from local purveyors, farmers and ranchers.
As always, we’d like to extend a special thanks to our friends and part-ners, Paul, Scott and Blair at Northeast Seafood. They’ve provided us with daily deliveries of the freshest and finest the sea has to offer since 1989.
SOMETIMES A LITTLE MYSTERY IN LIFE CAN BE A GOOD THING... SOMETIMES.
And at other times, any amount of mystery is a terrible idea. Some things are just too import-ant to leave to chance or fate. Our top three areas of required certainty would have to be brain surgery, rocket science, and oysters. And while all three are pretty awesome in their own right, our area of expertise is oysters. Top quality, fresh, delicious oysters.
The Emersum Oyster is exclusive to Jax Fish House and is the freshest oyster ‘this side’ of either coast. Rappahanock River Oysters (RRO) has been run by the Croxton family since its inception in 1899. Ryan and Travis Croxton sustainably grow and harvest every Emersum Oyster for us with the certainty that for every oyster that’s grown, dozens of wild oysters are seeded in an improved Chesapeake Bay eco-system.
That kind of certainty means that we don’t just know where the Emersum Oyster comes from, we know exactly where it lives. It means that we can point to an exact spot on a map where the Emersum was raised and know the quality of the water, the environmental influences, and the conditions that will produce this consistently rich and delicious oyster with a size, taste, texture and liquor that you can count on, each and every time.
JAX FISH HOUSE proudly supports fisheries and purveyors who are environmentally conscious and fish legally from sustainable waters. We compost our food waste. 100% of our energy is offset with wind power.
EAT FISH, LIVE LONGER.
We serve amazing seafood to ‘coast-less communities’. Our greatest desire is to share the best, freshest and most
delicious seafood with deserving, landlocked diners. We build relationships with fishmongers all over the
country and mindfully prepare their sustainable harvest. These relationships guarantee the seafood you enjoy
is of unmatched quality, flavor and abundance.
