Enjoy delicious, versatile, and sustainable wild BC salmon at participating restaurants.
(Vancouver, BC) Join the Chefs’ Table Society of BC (CTS) and the BC Salmon Marketing Council from Friday, August 27 to Sunday, August 29 to celebrate the iconic wild BC salmon, fishers, and chefs. In 2021 the Wild Salmon Celebration will continue to be province-wide with 10 participating chefs and restaurants in various regions of BC.
The multi-city celebration in support of wild BC salmon, commercial fishers, and a healthy seafood choice is especially important to showcase the versatility of salmon and the resilience of both the fishery and fishers. Each chef will prepare the wild salmon in their own unique way that expresses their personal culinary style. For three days consumers are encouraged to order these special dishes, appetizers or entrees, with pricing set by the restaurant.
This is also an opportunity for the public to learn more about wild BC salmon while supporting the fishers who make it possible to bring this product to market and onto our plates. With BC wild salmon you know where your food is coming from and who is harvesting it.
While limited closures have been implemented for this year, consumers can be confident that the fish that come to market are sustainably caught. And that means that when you see wild salmon on a menu, you can be assured you are supporting a sustainable fishery, BC fishermen and coastal communities up and down the coast.
The 2021 participating chefs and restaurants are:
- Lisa Ahier, SoBo
- Angus An, Robert Belcham, & Hamid Salimian, Popina Cantina
- Alex Chen & Roger Ma, Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar
- Jeff Van Geest, Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek
- Justin Lee & Alexandra Sandoval, Miantiao
- Vish Mayekar, Caffe La Tana
- Ken Nakano, Inn at Laurel Point and Aura Waterfront Restaurant + Patio
- Adam Mukasa, Quails' Gate Winery
- Josiah Tam, Barrique Kitchen & Wine Bar
- James Walt, IL Caminetto
Follow along on Instagram at @chefstablesociety for chef updates, menu releases, and educational facts about the BC Wild Salmon fishery and species.
With discussions about sustainable practices happening more frequently, CTS President Darren Clay states, “Supporting our local fisheries is more important than ever and the province-wide Wild Salmon Celebration allows the Chefs’ Table Society to be a part of the conversation by providing educational information and support to the fishers and chefs who bring this amazing, local, and healthy option to our plates.”
The salmon will be provided by Organic Ocean Seafood and is being sponsored by the BC Salmon Marketing Council.
