The Future of Canadian Seafood & Why It Matters ?????? Before the new year, Down East Seafood had the privilege of attending the Special Canadian Masterclass at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) NYC. Led by Patrick McMurray (@shuckerpaddy), Guinness World Record holder for oyster shucking, and Michael-Ann Rowe (@michaelannrowe), a passionate advocate for the seafood industry, this event brought together some of the finest oyster farmers and seafood experts in the business. It was a powerful reminder of just how essential Canadian seafood is to chefs, restaurants, and their guests. From pristine oysters to world-class shellfish and finfish, these ingredients set the bar for quality and sustainability. ???? With potential tariffs on the horizon, we can’t ignore the impact this could have on access to these premium products. Our Canadian seafood partners are an integral part of the culinary world, and it’s crucial that we continue to support and advocate for the seafood that fuels our industry. A huge thank you to Patrick, Michael-Ann, and all the dedicated oyster farmers who made this event such a memorable experience. At Down East Seafood, we’re committed to working with chefs to ensure they continue to have access to the best seafood available. Let’s keep the conversation going—how is Canadian seafood impacting your menu? #CanadianSeafood #OysterMasterclass #ShuckerPaddy #ICECulinary #SeafoodIndustry #SupportOurFisheries #DownEastSeafood #ChefsWarehouse #EatMoreOysters #SustainableSeafood
