Join the American Institute of Wine and Food (AIWF) and the Aquarium of the Pacific’s Seafood for the Future Program to eat, drink, learn, and connect over Baja inspired fish tacos with a conscience. The event will take place from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 7, 2010 at Shelter Surf Shop, 2148 E. 4th Street, Long Beach, CA 90814. The cost is $10 at the door and is for the 21 and older crowd. 

With the retro California surf vibe of Shelter Surf Shop and the folksy surf music of Seth Pettersen, guests will feel like they’ve just stepped off the beach; a perfect backdrop for Baja-style beach cuisine.   Why Baja fish tacos?  It is summer time in Southern California and Baja-style eats are about as much a part of our culture as 405 traffic. Such close proximity to Mexico has lent the region a beautiful mosaic of different strains of Mexican cooking, especially that of Baja.

The Long Beach Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will be holding a chapter general meeting at 7PM, Monday,  August 2nd at Shelter Surf Shop (2148 E 4th St., Long Beach).  It’s free to the public.

We’ll start with a short talk about Surfrider’s Rise Above Plastics campaign, with goals of eliminating plastics from our oceans.  After that, the guest speaker will be film maker Grant Eads screening Mother Wants Her Beauty Back, a film about the ongoing breakwater campaign.
