Each gastro-competition is an experiential live-streaming event in which two participating chefs and two barkeeps present their creations to thousands of online viewers—and a panel of six judges—in hopes of being named the winner. The second voyage will air on Maxim’s Facebook Live Friday August 28th at 7pm.

Chefs

Adam Sobel of Mina Group (Las Vegas) and Chad Clevenger of Alma Cocina (Atlanta) will compete with sustainable fish sourced from responsible fisheries and produce from local Georgia farmers. Each chef presents two raw dishes (crudo / tiradito) and one hot dish for judges and guests.

Barkeeps

At the same time, two award-winning barkeeps compete with their own take on a historic cocktail called Fish House Punch. For the punch competition, each barkeep chooses between Buffalo Trace Bourbon or Wheatley Vodka.

Why?

Fish House is an important discussion on important categories of sustainable fish like Bycatch, The Wild Big Blue, Line-Caught, Farmed and Community Supported Fisheries (CSF), all while inspiring education and consumption of responsibly-cultivated seafood.

Historic

Fish House is the nation’s first responsible aquaculture food and beverage competition. The original Fish House was established in 1732. Today it remains America’s first fishing cooperative in the 13 colonies. Honorary members included no less than George Washington, who was said to be a frequent visitor. Fish House pays homage to the old world when life was simpler and food was cleaner.
