A Fishy Affair : Sustainable Seafood Gala

Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Foundation hosts an annual sustainable seafood gala event,  A Fishy Affair, in Savannah, GA. The event brings to light the invasive spread of Pacific red lionfish into the Atlantic and offers delicious, sustainable seafood options from our Georgia waters. Local celebrity chefs are challenged to prepare their own unique seafood dish for the first course followed by a full dinner. Guests enjoy a raffle, live auction, education and entertainment that benefits Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. Join us as a sponsor of this impactful event to champion local sustainable seafood.

The Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Foundation wishes to thank our incredible sponsors, extraordinary chefs, dedicated volunteers and the Savannah community for supporting A Fishy Affair! Join us in 2021 for more deliciously sustainable seafood and fun!
