Yagi Noodles is once again transforming its menu with the return of Feast of the Fishes, a 10-course tasting experience centered on local and sustainable seafood.

The annual event runs from Wednesday through Dec. 20, serving dinner from 4 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $80 per person.

This year’s family-style menu highlights invasive and underutilized species, including locally caught green crab and slipper limpets. Oysters come from Bluff Hill Cove Oyster Farm.

Dishes range from Pt. Judith Bay scallop with tomato ponzu and calamansi to green crab soup dumplings and sake-steamed slipper limpets with garlic confit. The meal concludes with “Driftwood,” a dessert featuring phytoplankton, chocolate, banana, and salmon roe caramel.

The menu changes each year and is available for a limited time.

Reservations are recommended. For reservations, contact Yagi Noodles.
