C8: Seafood Soirée
February 15, 2020
· 12:00-2:00 pm
Description: The harvesting, processing, and consuming of seafoods are ancient practices with archaeological evidence dating back as early as 165,000 years ago. But even with that kind of history, seafood is one of those ingredients that not everyone feels comfortable cooking. There's something about fish scales or having to deal with mollusk shells that puts people off. But there's nothing to be scared of - not even the fishy smell if you make sure to use the freshest stuff. Actually, some would say it's a lot harder to make a good chicken dish than it is to cook up seafood. Eating seafood can help prevent heart attacks and strokes, can lower blood pressure and may even help ward off depression. Mercury remains a concern with seafood, but fortunately, the fish highest in healthful omega-3 fats are the lowest in mercury. But the most important takeaway is that seafood is just plain delicious and you shouldn't be scared to cook it at home! $20 per participant - cash only.
Purpose: Learn and taste delectable seafood recipes and techniques to use at home
