About Catch and Cook with the MV Shellfish Group and Chef Zachary Graves Miller
Join the MV Shellfish Group and The Farm Institute for a uniquely Martha’s Vineyard summer evening spent in the water and on the Farm!
We’ll kick off the program at Katama Bay Landing, 87 Edgartown Bay Rd., with a 45 minute hands-on lesson in harvesting our own quahogs. Learn from the MV Shellfish Group how to responsibly gather these island delicacies straight from the source. No gear or experience necessary. Participants will get wet up to their waist and should wear water shoes such as crocs. Bring a towel and a change of clothes to dry off after!
Then, we’ll head over to The Farm Institute, where the fun continues. You’ll get a chance to learn how to shuck and open your freshly harvested quahogs, then roll up your sleeves and work together with Chef Zachary Graves-Miller of Meals by the Sea to prepare a delicious seafood dinner! We’ll round out the evening by harvesting ingredients for sides and culminate the night with a shared dinner on our porch.
