Most people think that Dave and I just examine seafood all day long, cramped up in cubicles surrounded by fish heads; Dave with his microscope and me with my knife kit. Finally we can show you that isn’t the case. Fish Tacos anyone???

We are teaming up with The Orange County Chapter of the American Institute of Wine and Food (AIWF) to put a healthy and sustainable twist on Baja fish tacos with a Sustainable Summer Event on Saturday, August 7 at Shelter Surf Shop on Fourth Street in Long Beach. We are going to be featuring some of the freshest fish tacos with seafood provided by Status Seafood. We will of course be educating our happy guests on what seafood to eat, how to buy it, and where to buy it.

Why Come?

Music- Featuring the folksy surf music of Seth Pettersen, guests will feel like they’ve just stepped off the beach; a perfect backdrop for Baja-style beach cuisine

Cerveza- Why not wash down a bit a fresh, crisp and slightly spicy seafood delight with a cool refreshing beer?

Education- What does sustainable even mean? Learn how to de-mystify the fish menu.

Great Food- Lightly spiced Mahi fish tacos with hand made salsa and chipotle cream, scallop ceviche with grill citrus, and more!
