San
Diego , CA - July 26, 2004
As
part of Passionfish's public education "Get the Dish on
Fish" program, we will be joining with the Macy's School
of Cooking this Thursday night, July 29, in San Diego. Andrew Spurgin,
co-founder of Passionfish as well as the executive director for
Waters Fine Catering,
teams up with long-time Passionfish'er Amiko Gubbins of Parallel
33. Chef Gubbins was named 2003
"Chef of the Year" by the San Diego Chapter of the
California Restaurant Association.
For their "Fish 101," the fun-loving Amiko-Andrew duo
will be working with guests to prepare three seafood recipes: tamarind
ginger mussels, grilled Alaskan salmon with peaches and orange blossom
honey, and whole striped sea-bass baked in sea salt with a citrus
scallion sauce.
Passionfish celebrates sustainable cuisine through its vibrant "Get
the Dish on Fish" events that take place in cooking schools,
at restaurants, outdoor markets, grocery markets, and other special
places. Our program's purpose is to help people prepare and enjoy
seafood while building communities of informed citizens.
"We're all about public education, not proselytizing,"
says Chef Andrew. "More and more, people are coming to us with
questions about the nutritional and ecological health of their seafood.
We don't tell people what to eat or what not to eat. Instead, we
help people make informed choices about what they want to eat. Our
"Get the Dish on Fish" events are perfect venues
for us to talk candidly about their concerns while whipping up a
fantastic and easy-to-prepare meal."
Passionfish is working closely with a network of chefs across the
West Coast and elsewhere, all who want to protect the ocean while
protecting food choices. Their incredible recipes will fill the
Passionfish cookbook on sustainable cuisine.

Amiko's "very hip and now" Parallel 33.
