BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine — As the Windjammer Days continue in Boothbay Harbor, another event highlighted the area's seafood and restaurant industries.
Four local chefs competed in the 4th annual Crab Cake Cook Off, judged by Representative Holly Stover, cookbook author and entrepreneur Dana Moos, and NEWS CENTER Maine's Amanda Hill. Tickets were sold out to the tasting event.
Organizers say each dish was created with locally-caught crab meat. Ultimately the people's choice winner was Rick Koplau with Newagen Seaside Inn.
Judges chose Kelly Farrin's crab cake dish as their winner. Farrin is the owner and chef of Carriage House Restaurant.
