Spenger’s To Host 10th Annual Crabby Chefs Seafood Festival on October 17, 2010

Spenger’s Fresh Fish Grotto has announced that their 10th annual Crabby Chefs Seafood Festival, this year benefiting the Berkeley Cal Recreational Sports Development Fund’s Camp Scholarship Program, will be held on Sunday, October 17th from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The festival will include an “Iron Chef” style culinary competition that culminates with a Crabby Chef being chosen, plus outdoor food booths that will be selling cooked crab, crab cakes, clam chowder and other seafood delights, along with beer, wine and soft drinks, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Cal Recreational Sports Development Fund’s Camp Scholarship Program. There will also be musical entertainment. The culinary competition is free for public viewing and will begin at 2:00 p.m.

Also on site for the festivities will be the Pacific Seafood “roadshow,” a mobile retail fish and shellfish store in the form of an 18 wheeler walk-in truck parked adjacent to the event staging area. The public can purchase the freshest seafood available in the Bay Area for preparation at home.
