One of the best ways to warmup this winter? A bowl of piping hot chowder made with sustainable seafood.

Chefs from across the province will be battling for top spot at this year’s Ocean Wise Chowder Chowdown with their original creations. Sip on local craft beer, ciders and spirits while sampling various soups. Cast your vote for your favourite dish.

All proceeds directly support the Ocean Wise Sustainable Seafood Program, which helps to ensure that “ocean life will be abundant for generations to come.”
