For the Love of Fish - from Producer to Plate
To celebrate sustainable seafood choices and raise awareness about BC seafood products, SeaChoice, Canada's sustainable seafood program, and Slow Food Vancouver are proud to announce a seafood tasting workshop: For the Love of Fish - From Producer to Plate. This event is sure to please both culinary and conservation enthusiasts alike.
The sustainable seafood movement has been increasing momentum significantly. SeaChoice staff members receive a steady stream of questions from the public, who are in search of sustainable seafood options, and wishing to find out more about SeaChoice recommended seafood. Slow Food Members are also in search of sustainable options and have a particularly keen interest in supporting local producers of food that is good, clean and fair.
At this event, 100 guests will be treated to a scrumptious guided tasting of eight wonderful, local sustainable seafood items produced in our coastal backyard and prepared by local chefs. Fishermen, farmers, chefs and scientists will be guiding guests through the provenance, practices and culinary qualities of eight delicious items. The showcase includes:
- Albacore tuna from Natural Gift Seafoods prepared by Chef Dylan Foss, Nu Restaurant,
- Coho salmon from Swift Aquaculture prepared by Chef Rob Clark, C Restaurant,
- Dungeness crab from Seafood 4 Life prepared by Chef Hidekazu Tojo, Tojos Restaurant,
- Oysters from the Oyster Man prepared by Chef Davies, Provence Marinaside Grill,

- Pacific scallops from Edge Water Foods prepared by Chef Andrea Carlson, Bishops Restaurant,

The tasting will include cooking tips and recipes with wine pairings to try at home or recommmend to others and will be followed by a question and answer session. Vancouvers own Sid Cross, a world-renowned wine critic, will garnish the take-home materials with wine pairing notes. Guests will leave this event with a very close connection to local, sustainable seafood options, from producer to plate.
