Your ticket includes tastings from a lineup of regional chefs, each creating a unique dish featuring Chesapeake blue catfish. Guests will also enjoy raw oysters and a variety of Southern-inspired sides, along with live cooking demonstrations, educational talks, and complimentary boat rides throughout the afternoon.

Spend the day on the water with live music, great food, and time to relax with friends. Lawn chairs are encouraged. Strollers are welcome. While we love our furry friends, please no dogs at this event.

Why It Matters
The Chesapeake Catfish Cook-Off highlights the impact of invasive blue catfish on the Bay and turns it into a community-driven solution. Proceeds support AMM’s environmental education programs, helping connect thousands of students to the Chesapeake Bay each year.
