Local fish and wine tasting in Port Jeff

The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County is sponsoring a local fish and wine tasting event in Port Jefferson next week.

The five-course seafood tasting plus wine pairing is hosted by the PJ Harbour Club, featuring “undiscovered” locally harvested fish dishes prepared by the club’s chefs.

Scheduled for Thursday, Jan 20 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event is part of Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Choose Local F.I.S.H. (fresh, indigenous, sustainable, healthy) initiative. The effort aims to increase demand among Long Islanders for locally harvested, wild-caught and grown seafood and shellfish.

Tickets for the tasting event are $50 each and can be purchased here.
