Local Foods

What a treat tonight, at Westview Marina we attended the 4th Annual BBQ cook off, with net proceeds going to the Tahsis Salmon Enhancement Society.

From the Village of Tahsis Website:  "Each year, the Tahsis Salmonoid Program releases from 250,000 to 500,000 fry (80% Chinook 20% Coho) into the Tahsis and Leiner Rivers. The program is staffed 100% by volunteers with the assistance of a coordinator from Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Currently, the Society is asking for Tahsis community groups to raise funds for the Salmonoid Program, to upgrade the water supply system."

There was a rich seafood chowder (which I've never tried before), A chicken, prawn and salmon dish with crisp vegetables with chipotle mayo in a savoury broth, and candied barbequed salmon.  All winners, although the prawn dish chefs walked away with 1st place.  Including salad it was only $13 a plate.  About 75 hungry guests showed up to celebrate some really great local food.  There's alot of things we don't have in Tahsis, but we do have pretty amazing seafood.
