A Passion for Seafood Stage
The Seafood Stage is back! Once again this stage will be focused on the incredible seafood caught, prepared and sold on the East Coast. We want to celebrate the small businesses who fish sustainably, show you how to prepare fish, and where you can buy the best quality fish on our doorstep.
The stage will include live cooking demos, talks, seafood streetfood, local fishermen demos and more.
All demos are free to attend, and visitors can come and go as they please. Times and chefs are subject to change.
