Feast of the Local Fishes

The extraordinary Boathouse at Pier’s End in Garibaldi

Learn, dine, wine, whiskey and brine with us at the Oregon Coast.

A seaworthy afternoon at the Oregon Coast celebrating the many riches our local waters have to offer us. Tournant and Shifting Tides NW are joining forces once again to bring you an afternoon of learning and feasting on local seafood, seaweed and Dungeness crab at one of the most picturesque venues on the coast - Pier’s End, the Historic US Coastguard Boathouse in Garibaldi, OR.

This extraordinary and iconic boathouse is a dream venue, perched over the water in Tillamook Bay at the end of the pier, over 750 feet from shore. We will be donating 5% of proceeds to the Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative, whose mission is to preserve and restore this historic boathouse and we invite you to learn more about the fine work they do.

Tickets include

-A crab cooking and cleaning demonstration led by coastal biologist and forager Alanna Kieffer of Shifting Tides and Oregon Seaweed. Learn about different crabbing techniques as well as how to identify different crabs species and legal size and sex limits. Alanna will also touch on the local fishing and crabbing industry and how it relates to Oregon and other coastal areas.

-A seafood and sea vegetable feast prepared by the Tournant Team. Expect an entirely sea-focused meal, with an emphasis on locally harvested items, including sea vegetables, fish such as salmon and albacore tuna, and shellfish such as oysters, mussels, clams, bay shrimp and the mighty Dungeness crab.

-Biodynamic wines from the trailblazers at Cooper Mountain Vineyards, longtime stewards of the land and fellow lovers of the sea.

-Dinstinctly crafted American Single Malt Whiskey from our friends at Westward Whiskey.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

-This event will be held at a boathouse, down a 760’ pier, on the water during spring. Be prepared to bundle up and bring layers to stay cozy!

-Given the unique location and amenities at the venue, the format for this event will be more dynamic, with stations for food and wine, room for mingling and live demos, plus a seated crab boil.

-Ticket price is inclusive of the demo and discussion, meal, wine and whiskey. Gratuity is neither expected nor discouraged.
