Shellfish: Chef Dan Hayes presents a delicious small plate dinner and cooking techniques to honour our seasonal and local ingredients. Meet and taste your native oyster the Olympia, shuck a live scallop, crack a crab leg and mussel with your moules. Our guest Dr. John Volpe will speak about sustainable local choices, how the farmed shellfish industry is affecting our environment, and lead discussion about our local shellfish.
Small Fish & By Catch: Chef Dan Hayes celebrates the less known fish that are often forgotten or abandoned at sea. Enjoy an evening of discovery; skate, octopus, pilchards, dogfish, flounder and other treats fresh from the Sidney dayboats. Dr John Volpe will be enlightening the session with some serious insight into our fishing future and ideally what should be on our plates when choosing Northern Pacific West Coast fish.
