Join MOA for a full-day fish filleting workshop with Musqueam community leader Terry Point, who will share with participants the cultural significance of salmon to the Musqueam people.
Through Terry’s teachings, participants will learn about traditional Musqueam fishing methods and protocols for preparing salmon for consumption. Terry will teach filleting techniques, and lead each participant in practicing on their own whole sockeye salmon. Participants will take home their filleted and vacuumed sealed salmon, along with a fish fillet knife. At the end of the hands-on lesson, participants will share a communal salmon meal prepared on site.
Workshop fee includes all materials, a salmon meal, and a sockeye salmon and filleting knife to take home.
