May Tasting: Salmon Tasting
Once again, Bluewater chefs are going to great lengths for the Bluewater Second Tuesday Tasting Series in May – literally 2500 miles from Puget Sound in Washington state along the British Columbian coast to the Gulf of Alaska, home to the world’s most pristine cold-water seafood and shellfish.
“Inside Passage: A Seafood Journey” continues last year’s Inside Passage Menu dedicated to seafood and shellfish from the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and Alaska. Seafood fans can test their tasting skills with a May 9 Salmon Challenge before joining a month-long celebration of Inside Passage seafood and shellfish timed to the opening of wild halibut and wild salmon fishing seasons.
Salmon aficionados are put to the taste test to determine the subtle differences between Wild King and Sockeye Salmon and sustainably farmed King and Atlantic Salmon. The always-surprising results make for a spectacular evening when paired with hand-selected white wines from Oregon and Washington.
