Brought to you by Slow Food Russian River in collaboration with Hayes Street Grill, Monterey Fish Market, Seaweed Café, Barndiva Restaurant and Seafood Watch

This Slow Food Seafood Salon will draw public attention to the increasingly urgent issues facing seafood resources and address how consumers and culinary professionals alike can make seafood choices that sustain the biodiversity – and culinary treasures – to be found in our local waters. Our aim is to take you on a two-part journey using all of your senses to encourage enjoyment and appropriate use of fish as a food, while safeguarding our oceans resources.
