Join us for this workshop to learn all aspects of Island shellfish, from preparation to the ecological importance of buying local. You'll leave the class with delicious shellfish, and also the knowledge of how to process your next harvest. This month, we will be learning how to shuck some of our island's finest bounty: local scalops. (Please note that the shellfish selection for this month has changed from oysters to quahogs, as the Edgartown Shellfish Department has been unable to harvest oysters this week.) Please note: consuming raw or undercooked seafood or shellfish may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions. Registration is required. Thank you to the Edgartown Shellfish Department for donating shellfish for these programs. https://edgartownlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/salt-water-wednesdays-16/
