BIG UPDATES (and reasons you should bring your friends and family) TO THE CATCH AND COOK COMPETITION:
1) The prize packages and raffle items are insane (way more than just dive related stuff). Dinner for 2 at several high end restaurants like WildFish & 7D, top of the line pedal kayak, roller guns, extremely high end chef knives, custom freedive wetsuits, freedom 7 shark shield, personally signed Gyotaku book from Chris Dewees, family experiences around Monterey... you name it. We want you and your family to be there, win and enjoy. Participate in the Beach Clean up to get prizes too!
2) Dwight Hwang (world famous Gyotaku artist - www.fishingforgyotaku.com) will do a live fish print demo at the event as well as a custom fish print for one lucky winner.
3) Pacific Bowls (a folktale eatery on Alvarado st) wants to do a pop-up eatery at the event to give food to all the participants of the comp and raffle.
4) Jack Kim graciously offered to do a custom metal fish trophy for the biggest (heaviest) fish winner along with the other heaviest fish prizes.
5) We have amazing executive chefs on the judge panel including Danny Abbruzzese from Portola Hotel and Spa (https://www.portolahotel.com/jacks-monterey) as well as Todd Fisher of Seventh and Dolores (one of the best restaurants in Carmel https://www.7dsteakhouse.com/).
