Feast of the Seven Fishes
A Spectacular Seafood Holiday Dinner
Executive chef David Standridge—the 2024 James Beard Award winner® for Best Chef: Northeast—brings his modern New England sensibility and deep commitment to coastal sustainability to this year’s Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner. Known for championing sustainable fishing practices at The Shipwright’s Daughter and Mystic Fish Camp, both in Mystic, Connecticut, chef Standridge crafts imaginative dishes that celebrate the rich seafood diversity of the region, from local shellfish and kelp to responsibly caught bycatch. Wine pairings for the evening’s multi-course menu will be curated by Kathleen Standridge, creative director of Heidenreich Hospitality Group, whose award-winning wine programs have been recognized by Wine Spectator, Vogue, and The New York Times, in collaboration with Ryan McGuinness, beverage director at The Shipwright’s Daughter.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
