Seafood Throwdown at Day at the Docks
The annual Day at the Docks Seafood Throwdown will start at noon, Saturday, September 19, 2015.

The 2015 Seafood Throwdown chefs are Taylor Rawl from The Mad Crabber Restaurant in Avon and Eduardo Chavez from Eduardo’s Taco Stand in Ocracoke.
Rawl and Chavez will have one hour to create dishes using a local seafood ingredient that will be revealed only when the event gets underway.
Dishes will be scored on taste, use of the whole fish, originality and presentation.
