2025 Seafood Cook-off Rules:

Seafood Competition:
The seafood competition is an event in which competitors cook and present food to be judged on taste as well as
execution of skills and presentation. For the individual competition, food will be needed for four portions – three
tasting portions and one display. In an "open" competition, three judges will taste the entry for judging.

PROCEDURE:
Competitors will supply their tools, i.e., knives, cutters, pans and products/recipe ingredients to prepare the
recipe. Small appliances will be allowed to be brought in by competitors.

Tasting Judges Evaluation:
Judging will be open to the event, not anonymous. The chef teams will serve the judges and give a short verbal
description of the dish. The judges will be allowed to ask the lead chef questions during the service time only.
Following that time of judging, plated dishes will be displayed for viewing and photography and identified by the
information as submitted on the Entry Forms.

Competition Scoring:
As the judges critique a display/entry, points are awarded in several areas and averaged to yield a single score
for the entry/display. Based on a possible 25 points.
Scoring - (Maximum of 25 points total)
5 points maximum – Presentation, general impression and serving methods
5 points maximum – Creativity
5 points maximum – Composition and harmony of ingredients
5 points maximum – Correct preparation and craftsmanship
5 points maximum – Flavor, Taste and Texture
