Cioppino Dinner in Fort Bragg March 13th...

The North Coast Fishing Association, in conjunction with the California Fisheries Coalition, will be hosting a family-style cioppino dinner on Saturday, March 13th at Portugese Hall (822 Stewart St.,) in Fort Bragg. Doors open at 5pm, and dinner is served at 6pm, with a raffle, auction and a full no-host bar.

Many of the ingredients for the delicious seafood dinner will be donated by local providers, including Vince Doyle (chilipepper rockfish) and Bill Forkner (Dungeness crab).  Rising Tide Sea Vegetables and Tomas DiFiore are teaming up for a crispy sea vegetable salad. Pacific Rim Seafood is serving up uni shooters. Thanks to Caito Bros. Fisheries for processing the crab. This is truly a community event.

Proceeds support the engagement of the local fishing community in the MLPA process. The North Coast Fishing Association has been supporting a lawsuit against the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its lack of a comprehensive plan on wave energy projects.

Support your sustainable seafood providers and sample locally caught seafood. For more info call 707-964-3710. Tickets ($35 per person) are available at the Noyo Fishing Center and Redwood Liquors in Fort Bragg.

Hey Dave, quit blowing smoke up my leg.

I tell you what, Ben Doane from Humboldt Area Saltwater Anglers was the main man last year when they got a salmon season in Eureka.

Anyway this Cioppino Dinner is all about the MLPA and I hope every fisherman in the area will come.

See ya there.

I mentioned this to my wife and she is totally up for a road trip this weekend!! We will be attending and looking forward to it!!
