This year’s storytellers include marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer Tierney Thys, local fisherman Mike Zucker, and lots of other talented fishy folks. This First Friday, Fish Tales is expanding to feature a gallery of incredibly talented local artists and their fish-themed work alongside our stellar stories. Artists include Amadeo Bachar, Emily Hess, Tentin Gillette and others.
Diego Felix from Colectivo Felix will be preparing a Panamerican inspired cuisine using ingredients from Monterey Bay and fish sourced from Ocean2Table.
