Old Village Post House Hosts Sustainable Seafood Dinner

Supporting the use of local and sustainable seafood is culinary law at all Maverick Southern Kitchens restaurants. As a partner of the South Carolina Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Initiative the Old Village Post House will host a Sustainable Seafood Dinner on Wednesday, September 19 at 6:30pm.   

Executive Chef Frank Lee and Chef de Cuisine Forrest Parker have created a delicious and diverse four course menu including Shrimp & Lobster Imperial Steamed Flounder, Cornflake Crusted Sunburst Trout and Grouper Roasted on Salt.  View full menu. Patrick Emerson, wine and beverage director, paired wines that add the perfect highlight to each course. An expert on sustainable initiatives from the Aquarium will also be on hand to discuss the importance of local seafood choices.

The South Carolina Sustainable Seafood Initiative is designed to promote the use of local and sustainable seafood in South Carolina’s restaurants, and helps ensure that consumers have fish for the future by teaching partner chefs about sustainable and local seafood, assessing their menus, and encouraging consumers to dine at partner restaurants. Sustainable Seafood Initiative pragmatically balances the needs of the environment with the world population’s need for seafood.

Join us on September 19 to show your support for local and sustainable seafood.  The dinner is $70 plus tax and gratuity. Reservations are required and must be made by calling 843.388.8935 to make yours.  Online reservations are not accepted for special dinners at this time.
