Tuna & Friends is a guest chef pop-up dinner series celebrating sustainable seafood. Running from January to June, we’re bringing in chefs from across North America to create an a la carte menu inspired by New England’s natural bounty, with additional dishes shaped by their own influences and sourcing. Along the way, they’ll take a journey through Portland’s working waterfront, exploring where our seafood originates and how it’s handled, including visits to and other community treasures.
