Finally! Slow Fish is here!<\/p>\n
Slow Food and The University of Gastronomic Sciences is putting on its 7th biennial Slow Fish in Genova, Italy from May 14 -17th. The occasion promotes a sustainable relationship with our seas, tackling topics from environmental sea hazards, to over-fishing and ocean politics. It brings together fisherman and allies from all over the world to give them agency, save their waters, their incomes, and re-dignify their work with fish.<\/p>\n
We want to embrace the beauty of this disappearing trade, highlighting to visitors the route their daily fish takes to their dinner plates\u2014through lecture, debate, tastings, and of course, a little play.<\/p>\n
We are proud to present you our young, creative, and educational line-up for our favorite fishy event:<\/p>\n
This year \u2014 to make our tours and events even more interesting and educational \u2014 we are partnering with marine biology students of the University of Genova for our Personal Fisher<\/strong> tours! We wanted to create a program that promotes the role of youth in the complex world of fisheries, and gives participants a diverse and in-depth view of how to buy fish in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n Students from both The University of Gastronomic Sciences and The University of Genova\u2019s Marine Biology Department are going to offer you one of the most exciting shopping tours you\u2019ve ever had! Maybe a bit more smelly than usually, but definitely one for the books!<\/p>\n They will bring you to Genova\u2019s local, daily fish-auction, which is just a few minutes by foot from the Porto Antico, where the real fishy business is happening! While meeting fishermen and aggregators alike, your group leaders will teach you how to recognize the best fish to buy for your palate, your wallet, and the planet through tips on how to distinguish quality, fresh fish, and recognize which species are more sustainable.<\/p>\n ------------<\/p>\n Personal Fisher - Camogli<\/strong><\/p>\n Ever wondered all steps a fish goes through to get to your plate?\u00a0Join us for a once in a lifetime opportunity!<\/p>\n We want to take you on a fishing boat in Camogli (a nearby fishing village). Sail out of the harbor into the Mediterranean sea where you will learn how to fish like a real fishermen, experiencing live what sustainable fishing in the Mediterranean really means\u2026 and being rewarded with a sunset-aperitivo at the beach afterwards. Could Ligurian life get any better?<\/p>\n ------------<\/p>\n Consilium<\/strong><\/p>\n Here at Slow Fish, we have hundreds of interesting and passionate fish lovers from all over the world in one place, and we thought to invite them to our University stand to learn from them, discuss, debate, and get a little rowdy. Every day at 4pm, we will host discussions and interviews with different producers, fishers, students, and experts of all things sea. Come add your voice to the conversation!<\/p>\n Thursday: Ocean Grabbing \u00a0------------<\/strong><\/p>\n Aperitivi<\/strong><\/p>\n When the fishermen are headed home, stands are slowly closing down, and the sun is setting, we\u2019re not quite ready for you to leave!<\/p>\n Every evening at the close of the Slow Fish fair, we invite you to join us for aperitivo at the University stand at 7pm. Come have a drink, talk, and enjoy some food provided by one of the wonderful fish exhibitors from the fair. Oysters from Holland, Mauritius bottarga, bacal\u00e1, and more, served to you by students and the fish producers alike! It\u2019s a great opportunity to learn about their production, ask all your questions, and finish your day the Italian way!<\/p>\n ------------<\/p>\n Eat-In:<\/strong><\/p>\n After our success during Slow Fish 2013, where more than 300 people sat down for lunch at our Fish Eat-In, we\u2019re bringing it back to the beautiful, antique harbor of Genova! You can join the 2015 edition on Saturday,<\/strong> the 16th at 3pm!<\/strong><\/p>\n But what exactly is an Eat In, you\u2019re wondering?<\/p>\n Born in San Francisco, an Eat-In is a polticial-gastronomic endeavor that utilizes public spaces to host a shared-meal with anyone who wants to eat, drink, chat, and make a statement together. But most importantly it\u2019s a celebration, a social gastronomic moment open to everyone!<\/p>\n We invite you to eat some delicious fish and celebrate the bounty of the Mediterranean with us! Students of The University of Gastronomic Sciences have teamed-up with exhibitors and Genovese fish markets to prepare a light seafood lunch that highlights the \u201cpoor fish\u201c of the our seas. Come sample these chefs\u2019 efforts!<\/p>\n ------------<\/p>\n Bike N<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>Eat <\/strong><\/p>\n A tour of Genova\u2019s coastal scenery and gastronomic traditions on two-wheels\u2026<\/p>\n Back in October, we organized a tour of Torino\u2019s alternative food scene by bike in honor of Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre. We\u2019re back, and our trusty two-wheelers have taken us all the way to Genova for the Slow Fish Fair!<\/p>\n We\u2019ve designed a fantastic gastro-bike tour, highlighting fishermen-villages near Genova and all the delicious treats that come from this culture!<\/p>\n ------------<\/p>\n Sunday, May 17th<\/strong>, we\u2019ll take you on a four-hour, slow excursion from Porto Antico to Porticciolo di Nervi, and back. We\u2019ve scouted peculiar little streets and unusual places to eat, and we thought it\u2019d be best to take our time. So plan on easy-riding, beautiful vantage points, a fresh fish lunch, and a cold beer by the Nervi harbor. A fine way to spend a sunny Sunday in Liguria!<\/p>\n \n Slow Food and The University of Gastronomic Sciences is putting on its 7th biennial Slow Fish in Genova, Italy from May 14 -17th.
