| In honor of the hard working shellfishermen and women who harvest the Bay State's coastal waters, the non-profit Massachusetts Aquaculture Association (MAA) is uniting a group of local shellfish farmers to celebrate its first Shellfish Shindig. The growers hail from Cape Cod and the Islands, the North and South Shores and Southeastern Mass. and will serve up Bay State Farmed Shellfish to seafood enthusiasts.
The Shindig will boast local oysters, quahog clams and steamers by the bucket, prepared in the shellfishermen's favorite styles, whether raw, fried or steamed in beer. Highlights for the fall fest include:
· Local chefs and shellfishermen will demonstrate shellfish preparation, cooking methods and shucking techniques
· A variety of Samuel Adams brews will be paired with each dish to showcase the complementary flavors of craft beer and shellfish available locally.
· Rowan Jacobsen, award-winning author of A Geography of Oysters, will host a book signing and discussion.
Admission includes tastings of Samuel Adams beers. All food is sold separately by local shellfish farmers. This is a CASH ONLY event open to everyone. Proper identification is required to purchase alcohol. Non-alcoholic beverages are being generously donated by Nestle Waters of North America.
Due to limited parking, public transportation is strongly suggested.
Massachusetts Aquaculture Association and Bay State Farmed Shellfish will celebrate the diversity of shellfish grown in the clean, cold waters of Massachusetts with the first ever Shellfish Shindig at the Samuel Adams Brewery. Local shellfishermen from across the state will offer their bounty to delight seafood lovers and discuss the importance of keeping sustainable harvesting practices alive and thriving. Each grower will serve up his or her wares by the bucket and Samuel Adams will provide its wide variety of beers.
