Market Notes: Prescott Park “Fishtival”
September 16, 2009 by Debra.
One way of deciding what’s local is to use the 100-Mile Diet. Not surprisingly, a good deal of the Seacoast’s radius includes the ocean as part of our foodshed. To celebrate our long tradition of local seafood, the NH Fish & Lobster Festival will be featuring a wide range of fun activities and events this Saturday:
Walk the decks of a local fishing boat, taste freshly-landed local seafood prepared by Seacoast chefs, learn to identify and prepare local fish, watch an on-location cook-off competition between chefs, investigate the Gulf of Maine ecosystem, sing a song and hear a tale or two.
13 chefs and restaurants will serve up fresh and delicious seafood tastings. Each were assigned a different locally-caught fish species at random (via lottery) to prepare at the event. The restaurants and their catch of the day are:
Little Bay Oyster: fresh shucked oysters
Fresh Local: mackerel
Jumpin’ Jays Fish Cafe: monk fish
Philbrick’s Fresh Market: squid
Robert’s Maine Grill: skate
Seaport Fish: hake
Portsmouth Lobster Co.: whole steamed lobster
Blue Mermaid: lobster
Portsmouth Brewery: flounder
Green Monkey & Brazo: cod
River House Restaurant: pollock
Portsmouth High School Culinary Arts: haddock
Old Salt Restaurant: bluefish
“Iron Chef” fans will also love the chef cook-off competition between chefs Ben Hasty of the Exeter Inn and Alec Maxon, a professional chef and fisherman from Newburyport. For this Seafood Throwdown, the chefs will be asked to prepare on-site an undisclosed locally-caught fish species with a limited amount of time to travel to the Portsmouth Farmers’ Market to collect supplies, return to the park and prepare, cook, and plate samples for the judges!
