International Boston Seafood Show 2007

Last year the kind people at the International Boston Seafood Show gave me a press pass so that I could cover this event for the Well Fed Network. I wrote an article for the Growers & Grocer’s blog (article link) and a few for this blog (Auto-design that has gone to the fishes, Ducktrap orgy, Ichthyological super models, King of Crabs, Cornucopia del Mar).
I am going to be covering this amazing event again this year and will hopefully be meeting a few other Boston area food bloggers (4 at last count). This should be a lot more fun because its always better to share fantastic experiences than to go it alone. I learned that lesson when I lived in Alaska by myself. I climbed mountains and sat alone at the top, with strangers, wishing I could have shared it with a friend or loved one. Same with just about any part of Alaska really. This show wasn’t quite such a transcendent experience, no comparison, but it will be great to share it!
This time I going to fast for like a week before (kidding) just to get ready for the experience of hundreds of people practically forcing you to eat prime quality seafood. I am not kidding.
So, last year, I took many photos (many didn’t come out with excellent quality but they serve to give a sense for the experience). I am going to post them here today in no special order so that I can get them out there and then wow you with this year’s photos (with a better camera no less) when the time comes.
Some of the things you will see is Tom Douglas cooking for me (OK, making samples for everyone but he handed them to me!), a cooking competition with salmon and mussels and other delectable treats, crazy blow up and furry displays, molecular gastronomy ingredients (reagents to be more specific), and acres of gobsmacking beautiful seafood.
The show this year is March 11-13 so check after then for coverage of 2007.

For some reason, I thought this years’ show was in July – didn’t realize it was in March. I’m going to live vicariously through you – looks like a great time!
Cate: Wish you could come up and go with me, would be a blast!
