President's Annual Awards Banquet
Columbia Tower Club, Seattle
What a Northwest seafood extravaganza we had. We started off with appetizers featuring Taylor shellfish. Chef Xinh and her staff prepared steamed manila clams, mussels parmesan and geoduck ceviche salad. Next Chef Zinh provided us with a demonstration on how to clean geoduck and the best way to prepare geoduck sashimi.
Our dinner was prepared under the direction of Executive Chef James Hassell. We started with a delicious trio of fresh oyster; our entree was a beautifully prepared baked steelhead filet. Chef James finished our dinner with a creatively prepared cheese cake bread pudding. I would like to thank Chef James for the exceptional dinner and for making it a special night for our members and guests.
