The stew was his oyster.
A Massachusetts cop is about to be several thousands dollars richer nearly six years after finding a rare, lavender pearl in his birthday dinner, CBS Boston reported.
Swampscott Police Officer Mike Serino said he was chowing down on a seafood stew at a restaurant in nearby Peabody, MA for his birthday when he spotted the jelly bean-shaped object.
"We thought it was a rock," Serino told CBS. "We thought it was pretty, so we took it home."
The find gathered dust in his wife's jewelry box for years until Serino stumbled across a pearl of wisdom: a news report about an identical seafood joint discovery.
Serino had the 6+ carat pearl authenticated, and it's likely to fetch $10,000 to $15,000 at an auction next month, Kaminski auction house's Harry Morgan told the station.
"But being on the Internet with the whole world able to bid on it in real time, who knows?" Morgan said.
Serino offered his review of the jackpot dish, saying, "It was a good seafood stew and now it's even more tasty now that I've got this pearl that's worth thousands."
The restaurant's fortunes haven't been quite so favorable: it reportedly closed years ago.
