Local Fish Shines at Seafood Celebration
Tidings | Apr 20, 2020

In April, top local chefs, scientists, seafood experts, and guests gathered for our fifth annual Gulf of Maine Seafood Celebration.
Over 200 guests enjoyed an evening of delicious food and live music in support of responsibly harvested Gulf of Maine seafood and the hardworking communities that bring it to us. GMRI Culinary partners showcased a wide variety of Gulf of Maine species, including mussels, pollock, oysters, mackerel, redfish, hake, dogfish, and scallops.
"I am eternally grateful for the education GMRI has provided for me and other chefs in our community,” said chef Evan Mallett of Black Trumpet. “I am thrilled to be a Culinary Partner at this event so that I can showcase the glorious flavor and versatility of the Atlantic pollock!”
