The Seafood Nutrition Partnership is kicking off National Seafood Month on 1 October with a “Celebration of Sustainable Seafood” event featuring top chefs.
The celebration will be held at Ivy City Smokehouse in Washington, District of Columbia, U.S.A., from 6 to 9 p.m on 1 October, SNP said.
Some top chefs from the D.C. area will offer signature seafood bites to around 200 guests, and Michael-Ann Rowe, the Fishionita and Emmy Award-winning food and travel journalist, will emcee the event.
“This event is a great way to kick off my favorite month of the year with a little education and a lot of delicious seafood,” said Rowe, an SNP ambassador, in a press release.
Among the featured chefs attending the event are: Executive Chef Mike Ellis of Charlie Palmer Steak, Chef Matt Baker of Gravitas, Chef/Partner Ron Goodman of Ivy City Smokehouse, and Chef/General Manager Joseph Cotton and Chef Tyler Skinner of Sodexo/National Aquarium.
