FISHERIES--NOVA SCOTIA SEAFOOD DAYS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Seafood Days are here again and the provincial Department of Fisheries invites all Nova Scotians to taste a feast from the sea during the month of June. "June is an optimum time to enjoy seafood." said Janis Raymond, Nova Scotia Fisheries marketing director. "Shellfish and other kinds of seafood, such as mackerel, shark and haddock, are readily available. Summer activities can be enhanced with seafood -- take on a picnic or try it on the barbecue." A variety of seafood species will be featured and promoted at festivals throughout the province. From the CBC Breakfast Bash to Michelin's Health and Safety Fair, seafood will be at the forefront of summer events, she said. Nova Scotia Fisheries is teaming up with the Beef Information Centre and Taste of Nova Scotia to promote Beyond Surf 'n' Turf. This competition challenges chefs to develop new menu items featuring beef and seafood. Those who can't attend community events may still take advantage of Seafood Days. Nova Scotia Fisheries and Taste of Nova Scotia have released six new recipes, designed as post cards. These post cards can be purchased for $4.99 (taxes, shipping and handling included) from the Nova Scotia Fisheries Halifax office, participating Taste of Nova Scotia recommended restaurants, retail seafood stores or from the Taste of Nova Scotia office. -30- Contact: Ellen O'Reilly 902-424-0332 trp June 05, 1996 - 12:45 p.m.
