It gave chefs the opportunity to exhibit their culinary skills and explore their creativity."

However, the highlight was that the chefs carried out a live cooking session. "The choice of seafood and cuisine was left to the discretion of the participants. There was no restriction on creativity and chefs had to liberty to choose what they wanted to bring onto the platter. And each chef came up with a unique dish within the limited time," says Sneha. The chefs came up with a neat mix of local delicacies and experimental varieties in seafood.
