Seafood Throwdowns are back! And Cape Ann Farmers Market is the place to take part in the first Throwdown of 2011. Join us for an event focused on learning more about the ecological, social, economic and food system contributions of local seafood.

Three time Seafood Throwdown Champion Missy Sallah of Sugar Magnolias will be squaring off against Julie Ann Geary of Cape Ann Caterers featuring a mystery seafood provided by Cape Ann Fresh Catch. There will also be fish filleting demonstrations by master fish cutter Steve Parkes. Host and emcee duties will be shared by Good Morning Gloucester‘s Joey Cimartaro and Peter Van Ness from Gimmesound.com. 

Judging this event will be Loretta Lomba, head of the Chill Zone and a regular behind the Backyard Growers’ table at the farmers market, a member of the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association and Heather Fraelick, a local foodie and fitness enthusiast at Cross Fit Cape Ann. The dishes created by Missy and Julie will be judged on taste, use of the whole animal, originality and presentation.

Come join us for a fun, educational and tasty experience.
