What We've Done

What we've accomplished at the Centre for Seafood Innovation

We celebrated our grand opening in style with the Oyster Challenge. This exciting event challenged VIU culinary arts students to use oysters treated with high-pressure processing (HPP) for new recipes suitable for institutional settings. They excelled!

CSI also hosts monthly lunch-and-learns — Let’s Talk Seafood and eat it too! — bringing together industry and academic experts, VIU culinary students and seafood lovers from across the sectors. We launched these public education events to bring together local residents, the region’s shellfish aquaculture, and Vancouver Island University faculty and students — all while providing residents and students with opportunities to learn about the industry and teaching the public new ways to prepare seafood.
