Fishes at the Fort- Fundraiser Dinner & Auction
Join Eating with the Ecosystem and RI Seafood for an unforgettable evening of local seafood, delicious cuisine, and community at "Fishes at the Fort," a fundraiser dinner and auction to support the nonprofit organization Eating with the Ecosystem.
Experience the best of Rhode Island's local and underserved seafood as four amazing chefs come together to prepare a four-course dinner that celebrates local seafood, ocean ecosystems, and fisheries. Indulge in a culinary journey crafted by the talented Josh Berman of Little Fish Food Truck and JB Cuisines, Jason Timothy of Troop PVD, David Standridge of the Shipwright's Daughter, and Lucie Moulton of Gourmet Goddess.
The evening will begin with a cocktail hour with oyster raw bar and seafood appetizers and then will move into a seated four-course dinner with each course thoughtfully paired with exquisite wines selected by Maria Chiancola of Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet. During dinner there will be a live auction featuring incredible and unique prizes, led by by David Dadekian, board member of Eating with the Ecosystem and owner of Eat Drink RI.
This event is more than just a dinner—As you savor each bite, you'll be supporting the important work of Eating with the Ecosystem, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting a place-based approach to sustaining New England's wild seafood. It's also an opportunity to meet and learn from local fishers and harvesters as well as scientists who work tirelessly to protect marine ecosystems and bring fresh, responsibly caught seafood to our tables. Engage in conversations about sustainable fishing practices and oyster aquaculture, learn about local marine ecosystems, and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving our oceans and supporting local fisheries.
Join us on Friday, August 18th, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the historic Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island. The picturesque waterfront setting of Fort Adams provides the perfect backdrop for an evening dedicated to supporting sustainable local seafood and connecting with the local community.
