Join Manomet for an extraordinary tasting and learning experience! Featuring responsibly-sourced oysters, Maine scallops, green crabs, and dogfish from Island Creek Oyster, ArtBar at the Sonesta, Future Chefs, Boston Public Market and more. We can all play a role in building sustainable fisheries in the Gulf of Maine, just by the fish we eat!
The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than 99% of the world’s oceans. Some fish species, like northern shrimp, are moving out, and other potentially valuable species, such as black sea bass and dogfish, are moving in. Fishing is fundamental to the New England culture. To sustain this heritage, fishermen, scientists, and even fish consumers will need to adapt to the changing system.
So, join us on Boston’s fish pier for a special evening of tasting and learning. Meet and talk with fishermen, scientists, chefs, and others who are on the front lines of adapting to the changing ocean. You’ll also have the chance to contribute to science yourself by participating in a seafood tasting study.
This event is hosted by Manomet, a non-profit science organization working with fishermen to develop new fisheries in the Gulf of Maine. Our special guest for the evening will be Jared Auerbach from Red’s Best, a pioneer in marketing the new species now abundant in the Gulf of Maine.
