A by-catch menu

The evening will begin at 6:30PM with welcome cocktails from Solento Tequila along with tray-passed bites, followed by a five-course dinner menu exclusively utilizing local ‘treasure fish’, lesser-known and non-targeted species caught in San Diego’s fisheries often called “by-catch,” paired with wine from Niner Winery.

Due to the nature of by-catch, the menu will be fully dependent on what is available the morning of the event. Potential fish include Opah, Sheepshead, Small Fish, Rock Fish, White Fish, and Halibut.

WILDCOAST’s CEO, Serge Dedina, along with local scientists and fishermen will be in attendance to help guests learn more about WILDCOAST’s mission and how to protect our fisheries.

All profits from ticket revenue will go towards funding WILDCOAST’s efforts to conserve our planet’s most critical ecosystems.
