The Rhode Island High School Seafood Cook-off took place on Thursday 4/27, at the Warwick Area Career and Technical Center's Tides Restaurant. Six high school student teams competed to see who has the best preparation for summer flounder.

An audience of over 50 invited guests sampled the seafood dishes and voted for their favorites based on criteria such as flavor and presentation. First prize was awarded to our Townie Culinary Team of Teagan Abatiello, Katelyn Bolarinho, Aaliyah Caetano, and Martim Moniz.

As the winning team they will be treated to lunch at Hemenways in Providence and have their recipe featured as a special there. These amazing chefs prepared a winning dish of lemon steamed summer flounder with a brussel sprout and apple slaw, sweet potato purée, blistered tomatoes, and aji Amarillo sauce.

The event was sponsored by The Warwick Area Career & Technical Center; Rhode Island Sea Grant; the Cooperative Extension Food Safety Education Program in the University of Rhode Island Department of Fisheries, Animal and Veterinary Sciences; Newport Restaurant Group; the Rhode Island Hospitality Association; and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management
