SPOTLIGHT: Chef Edgar Grajo

I met Chef Edgar during Fishta's Event at the World Trade Center. It was my first time to attend a live cooking demo and at the same time I was also covering the event. He prepared three different dishes using Pampano Fish.




Fishta Cooking Demo at The World Trade Center

I love cooking, I love cooking shows, I love reading cookbooks, and it's a special thrill for me to watch a live cooking demo.

On the last day of the joint Agrilink / Aqualink / Foodlink Expo at the World Trade Center, Fishta and Chef Edgar Grajo conducted a cooking demo highlighting "Pompano," which happens to be Fishta's flagship product. Aside from Pompano, Fishta also has other live and fresh chilled products like grouper, seabass, catfish, milkfish, tilapia, etc.

Established in 2004, "Fishta Seafood has been committed to providing major wet markets, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and trading posts with the freshest marine food products. It was in the same year that the company pioneered the display of live pompano in aquarium tanks installed in supermarkets and seafood markets."

Coincidentally, prior to the cooking demo, I saw some exotic-looking fish at my suking fish-monger near my  daughter's school and when I asked what it was, the lady replied, "pompano." Okay. Its fish. Didn't buy it though because I was eyeing another kind of seafood that time and I'm not in a creative cooking mood.
