An Aquatic Appetite

Most people never stop to ask their local fishmonger or restaurant chef where their seafood comes from. Nonetheless, this question is very important and the answer has an enormous impact on the future of the fish and other wildlife in the oceans, lakes and seas which cover over 75 percent of the globe. On Tuesday, September 18th, 2012 the Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro and the New England Aquarium will co-host a “Celebrate Seafood Dinner” to raise awareness of the challenges facing the oceans and the benefits of sustainable seafood. For just $65 per person, $55 for New England Aquarium members, guests will be treated to a one-of-a-kind four-course dinner that will satiate the palate while satisfying the soul.  For an additional $25, guests can enjoy an optional wine pairing with each course. 

Executive Chef Josh Lewin is committed to incorporating local products and sustainable practices into the Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro’s cuisine in unique and innovative ways. To bring this delicious and educational feast to diners, Lewin worked alongside the Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Program to bring only the freshest, most sustainable ingredients to the table.  Guests will not want to miss this chance to combine their passions for the ocean with their passion for food.
