It's that beautiful midsummer time of year in BC when seasonal ingredients like peaches and tomatoes shine on our plates, and wild sockeye salmon makes its seasonal run.
On Saturday, August 25, 2018, join the Chefs' Table Society of British Columbia and the BC Salmon Marketing Council from 6:30pm-9pm, for a celebration of an iconic seasonal BC product: wild salmon. Tickets, $59, and more information here.
Tasting-sized dishes featuring BC wild sockeye salmon will be prepared by six well-known Chefs' Table Society of BC member chefs, who unite for this event over their love of the ocean.
