Friendly Jan. 10 competition of iconic European fish stews
Kicks-off 2017 Bluewater Second Tuesday Tasting Series
Seafoodies can decide which is best:
French Bouillabaisse or Italian Cioppino
Coronado’s Bluewater Boathouse kicks off the 2017 Bluewater Second Tuesday Monthly Tasting Series with a January 10 showdown between Europe’s two famous fish stews paired with hand-selected wines from each country. Following the special events, seafoodies will be able to declare which centuries-old dish is best: French Bouillabaisse or Italian Cioppino.
The “French Bouillabaisse vs. Italian Cioppino Tasting Event” is part of a month-long competition between the two European fish stews. The $34.95 tasting event features separate bowls of French Bouillabaisse, made with saffron and garlic, and a tomato-based Italian Cioppino, paired with a glass of French Pinot Blanc and an Italian red, respectively.
Seafood fans unable to attend the special January 10 celebrations can order the very same fish stews off the menu throughout January, and pair them with French and Italian wines on the bar menu. The French Bouillabaisse is also available as a season special through February, and customers can enjoy Bluewater’s San Francisco Cioppino year-round.
Bluewater’s monthly tasting events, hosted every second Tuesday, feature seasonal seafood specialty items paired with hand-selected wines or specialty draught beers. The events include casual commentary and Q&A by the restaurants’ resident chefs, and have become a popular monthly diversion for local seafood aficionados and Bluewater Grill’s large fan base.
Due to the popularity of the monthly tasting events, reservations are strongly advised.
