All while an expert chef teaches you how to turn fresh fish straight from the sea into a fabulous meal you can share with your friends and family!

The best part - 100% of the ticket price goes towards providing local seafood for Long Island families in need (25 meals per ticket)!

The June 2nd event will be led by acclaimed Culinary Nutritionist, Author of What The Fork Are You Eating, + Founder of WTFork.com Stefanie Sacks. Stefanie will be teaching guests how to prepare “Reinvented Lobster Rolls” made with monkfish and sea robin. Monkfish are harvested right off the coast of Long Island. This delicious fish is known as "poor man's lobster" since the meat is firm and similar in texture to lobster. Sea robins are abundant on Long Island and many people have caught them but never tried them. They are a surprisingly delicious local fish which is gaining popularity. Both monkfish and sea robins are smart seafood choices because they are sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under strict U.S. regulations.

This in-person live cooking event will be held on Friday June 2nd from 5:30-7pm at the East End Food Market at 139 Main Road in Riverhead NY.
