September, 2018 This Wednesday for our Tucker river fellows club meeting, we headed down to the IMAX theatre for the Serve and Protect cooking show. This show is a yearly event hosted at the IMAX where chefs across the south come to show Chattanoogans how to prepare invasive species of fish. When we arrived at the IMAX we were greeted by tables filled with a wide variety of fish, fruit, and peach cobbler bars. The stars of the show were the Lionfish and the Wreckfish. We learned that the Lionfish is a highly invasive species that can destroy ecosystems and coral reefs. While Wreckfish is also an invasive species, they are being added to many menus across the country. At the serve and protect cooking show we learned how to prepare these invasive fish at a restaurant or even at home. More people are now branching out and trying these fish to try and get rid of them to save many ecosystems in the ocean, we were also encouraged to try and get our local grocery stores to start supplying these fish. Overall it was a great experience with even greater food! I would definitely recommend it to others and would go back again!
