Fishes at the Fort Fundraiser & Auction

Join Eating with the Ecosystem join us for a ‘fintastic’ evening at our second annual Fishes at the Fort fundraiser!

An unforgettable evening of local seafood, delicious cuisine, and community.

Experience the best of Rhode Island’s local and underutilized fishes as four amazing chefs come together to prepare a four-course dinner that celebrates local abundance, ocean ecosystems, and our beloved fisheries. Indulge in a culinary journey crafted by award winning chefs:

Josh Berman of Little Fish Food Truck and JB Cuisine
Sky Kim of Gift Horse
David Standridge of The Shipwright’s Daughter
Jason Timothy of Troop PVD

The evening will begin with a cocktail hour including an oyster raw bar and seafood appetizers. Then we will move to a seated four-course dinner where each course is paired with a fantastic wine.  During the meal we will have a spirited live auction featuring incredible and unique prizes, led by David Dadekian, board president of Eating with the Ecosystem and owner of Eat Drink RI.

This event is more than just a dinner—As you savor each bite, you’ll be supporting the important work of Eating with the Ecosystem, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a place-based approach to sustaining New England’s wild seafood. You will meet and learn from local fishers and harvesters who bring the fresh, responsibly caught seafood to our tables and engage in conversations about sustainable fishing practices and oyster aquaculture, learn about local marine ecosystems, and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving our oceans and supporting local fisheries.
