One ticket needed per person. The Merroir of Mollusks will explore the factors that shape the unique flavors of three local species: Market squid, Mediterranean mussels, and Clams. The talk will focus on what gives our local market squid its distinct taste, both recreational and commercial harvesting methods, along with insights into the squid’s life cycle and how it influences flavor. This talk also includes a tasting of “Mollusk Cioppino” with all of our highlighted mollusks represented; Geoduck, Manila clams, Mediterranean Mussels, and the star of the show, SQUID!
