Fish Cleaning Demo on Martin Luther King Day

Fish Cleaning Demo
at the Buffalo Museum of Science

Join Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper on Martin Luther King Day, January 19th, at the Buffalo Museum of Science for a fish cleaning and cooking demonstration! Admission is free and there will be lots of other community oriented activities. Other organizations involved in this event are The Wellness Institute, Environmental Education Associates, BlueCross and BlueSheild of WNY, UB Dental School, and many more. For more information, click here.

The first of two fish cleaning and cooking demonstrations is scheduled from 11am to 12pm and the second will take place from 12:30pm to 1:30pm. Each demonstration will begin with a short presentation followed by a 20 minute fish cleaning demonstration, 30 minute fish cooking demonstration, as well as time for taste testing and questions.

By the end of the session participants will have learned the proper way to clean and cook a fish caught in the Buffalo and Niagara Rivers. This is especially important because of the potentially dangerous heavy metals and pollutants that have been found in Buffalo and Niagara River fish species.
