KELP DINNER

The Shipwright’s Daughter is proud to present our 5th Annual Kelp Dinner in partnership with Stonington Kelp Company on April 26th.

Each year, our Kelp Dinner explores new ways to highlight one of the ocean’s most powerful climate-positive ingredients. This beloved tradition celebrates sustainable seafood, innovative cuisine, and the incredible potential of kelp as a regenerative ingredient from our coastal waters.

This year, James Beard Award–winning Chef David Standridge welcomes special guest Chef Jordan Rubin of Mr. Tuna in Portland, Maine. Known for his inventive approach to sustainable seafood and his creative Japanese-inspired cuisine, Rubin has earned national acclaim for his commitment to responsibly sourced fish and bold, unexpected flavors. In 2025, he was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs and was also recognized by the James Beard Foundation as a semifinalist for Best Chef: Northeast.

Together, the chefs will craft an unforgettable multi-course dinner celebrating kelp, sustainable seafood, and the vibrant ecosystem of New England’s waters.
