Spenger’s Announces 9th Annual Crabby Chefs Seafood Festival & Benefit

Spenger’s Fresh Fish Grotto has announced their 9th annual Crabby Chefs Seafood Festival, this year benefiting the Berkeley Cal Recreational Sports Development Fund’s Camp Scholarship Program. The event will be held on Sunday, October 11th from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The festival includes a colorful “Iron Chef” style culinary competition that culminates with a Crabby Chef being chosen, plus, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., outdoor food booths will be selling cooked crab, crab cakes, clam chowder and other seafood delights, along with beer, wine and soft drinks, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Cal Recreational Sports Development Fund’s Camp Scholarship Program. There will also be musical entertainment. The culinary competition is free, open for public viewing and will begin at 2:00 p.m.

Also on site for the festivities will be the Pacific Seafood “roadshow,” a mobile retail fish and shellfish store in the form of an 18 wheeler walk-in truck parked adjacent to the event staging area. The public can purchase the freshest seafood available in the Bay Area for preparation at home.

Spenger’s Fresh Fish Grotto, established in 1890, is located at 1919 Fourth Street in Berkeley, California, just off of I-80. For more information on the Crabby Chef Challenge and Benefit, call Spenger’s at (510) 845-7771.
