Each dish was created with natural ingredients and careful craftsmanship. Amid a park-like setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the scene was quintessential California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\">As the festivities wound down, a lucky few came to Catalina\u2019s table inspired by recipes they\u2019d sampled and walked away with whole fish, crab claws and <a href=\"https:\/\/catalinaop.com\/California_Gold_Uni_p\/sushi_roe_3a1.htm\">uni<\/a> to enjoy at home. Owner Dave Rudie masterminded the giveaway as he answered questions about\u00a0the displayed sea bass, groupers, crab, green and purple sea urchins and more. He was overhead saying, \u201cThis is much more fun than packing it all up to bring back to the plant!\u201d That generosity also extends at Catalina&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/catalinaop.com\/fish-market\/#.UytizoWLlco\">fish market<\/a>\u00a0where the craft of seafood is celebrated year round.
