We teamed up with Trident Seafoods to present the Wild Alaska Contest! Chefs around the U.S. were challenged to create innovative dishes showcasing their favorite techniques and flavors, utilizing the most abundant certified-sustainable wild fish in the world: Wild Alaska Pollock. The Grand Prize Winner of this contest will win a custom Nora Knife (worth $400), as well as a Trident hat and jacket and a Chef’s Roll tumbler. The Runner Up will win $250 in cash and the Trident and Chef’s Roll gear. Finally, our People’s Choice Winner – decided by the most number of votes received by fellow chefs – will also win the Trident Gear and Chef’s Roll tumbler. The Trident panel of judges selected a winner from these chefs based on the creativity, technique, and appeal of their Wild Alaska Pollock dish.
