Chefs’ Table Society of BC hosts Wild Salmon Celebration August 25

2nd annual soirée deliciously celebrates the seasonal catch

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.

Grazing through six food stations and savouring BC Salmon Safe wines while live music plays, you will participate in the only outdoor high-end event celebrating BC wild salmon, generously provided by Grand Hale.
