One registration form is needed per group (participants and observers). Participants need to be at least 5 years old. All participants younger than 13 years old will need a parent or guardian to accompany them.
Merroir of Mollusks with Tagal Oceanic at 5 p.m.: Register
The Merroir of Mollusks will explore the factors that shape the unique flavors of three local species: market squid, Mediterranean mussels, and clams. The talk will focus on what gives our local market squid its distinct taste, both recreational and commercial harvesting methods, along with insights into the squid’s life cycle and how it influences flavor.
