They will cover a brief history of the Northern Snakehead, their biology (native range, diet, recent study findings), preferred habitats, seasonal patterns, lures and techniques, and much more. Come learn their tips and tricks and join in as they take questions from the audience.

Learn techniques to maximize the quality of your catch and how to prepare it for the table. Andrew Tsui, the founder of the Ike Jime Federation, will demonstrate his approach to ensuring that any seafood is of the highest quality when it makes it to your plate. Andrew will do a live demonstration on the steps he defines as a “considered kill”, then share his approach to butchering a fish for the kitchen. Following Andrew’s presentation, Chef David Murray from the Chesapeake Culinary Center will share his approach to blue catfish in ways that you can replicate at home, including culinary tips and how-to’s that anyone can follow.
