Friday June 18th • Fish for Dinner • 7-10PM
Avedano’s Holly Park Market will be hosting The Ethical Butcher for an event that highlights an often overlooked issue. At the rate we’re going, scientists say we may overfish our ocean’s bounty within the next 30-40 years. With that in mind, enjoy a 5-course dinner where the menu is built uses strictly fish recommended by MBA’s Seafood Watch. The sturgeon is an especially interesting dish, as it was developed based on a recipe that is nearly 400 years old!!
