KettleFish Wins “Best Chowder” at Green Gig Chowder Social in Gig Harbor

KettleFish has captured the “Best Chowder” award at the recent Green Gig Chowder Social in Gig Harbor, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to small-batch craftsmanship at its Silverdale location.

The February event served dual purposes as both a culinary competition and community fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting the Curious by Nature School operated by the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation. These funds directly support nature-based early childhood education through the Stewards Scholarship Fund, providing tuition assistance to local families.

Owner Dave Montoure expressed gratitude to event participants and voters while highlighting KettleFish’s dedication to fresh, local ingredients and sustainable practices. The restaurant views this recognition as an opportunity to further its community involvement while maintaining its commitment to culinary excellence, reinforcing its connection to both the Silverdale and Gig Harbor communities.
