Some things can only be learned by the water.

In a recent feature by @saltscapes, Nova Scotia’s seafood story isn’t told through recipes, but through the people who live it. Those who read the tides, who know when to wait, and who understand that timing and care shape everything.

It’s quiet knowledge, built over time, and it changes how you see what’s on your plate.

That same perspective carries into the Nova Scotia Seafood Academy at Devour! Studios.

You don’t just learn how to cook seafood. You learn how to understand it, where it comes from, how it’s handled, and why those details matter.

Guided by those who know both the water and the kitchen, it’s an experience rooted in place and shaped by the coast.

There’s something about an 80s dance floor… and it has nothing to do with what generation you belong to.The lights, the synth, the energy – it's a whole vibe.

Maximum Overdrive is bringing the kind of energy that pulls you in from the first note—INXS, Madonna, Duran Duran, The Cure… the songs you know, and ones you didn’t expect to love again, all in one room.

And if you’re a student, this is your sign.
$10 gets you in the door.

Don't overthink it. Just come out, bring your friends, and let the night take care of itself.

A quick moment behind the scenes before things go live.

Tomorrow morning, Chef Michael Howell will be on Global News sharing a glimpse into what we’ve been building here at Devour! Studios — the Nova Scotia Seafood Academy.

It’s a program rooted in this place. In our waters, our fisheries, and the stories that come with them. A chance to step into the kitchen, learn from extraordinary chefs, and cook seafood in a way that feels both thoughtful and deeply delicious.

If you’ve been curious about the Academy, this is a beautiful place to start.

📺 Tune in to Global News tomorrow at:
6:50 AM & 7:50 AM

Set your coffee down, stay a little longer, and come take a look inside.

Every great meal deserves a thoughtful ending.

Chef Annaleisa Scigliano brings both precision and care to her craft, shaped by years as a pastry chef and a deep commitment to teaching the next generation at NSCC.

Her work is grounded in classic technique, but always evolving, influenced by global inspiration and a belief that learning never really stops.

At Chefs & Shorts Gala, she closes the evening with dessert—a dark chocolate tart with caramel bourbon sauce and smoked pecan praline.

Rich, balanced, and carefully composed, it’s a final course that lingers, bringing the night to a close in the most memorable way.

Bold, coastal, and unapologetically Nova Scotia.

Chef Malcolm Campbell’s cooking is rooted in this place, shaped by the land and sea, and elevated through years spent in some of the world’s most respected kitchens, from London to Toronto and beyond.

At @mystichalifax, he brings a modern, artistic lens to Nova Scotia ingredients, earning recognition as one of the best new restaurants in the country.

At Chefs & Shorts Gala, @malkie_ presents the main course—Nova Scotia Tongue & Cheek.

Braised beef cheek, veal tongue potato, pickled maitake, black garlic shoyo, cattail, and tamarack vinegar jus come together in a dish that is layered, unexpected, and deeply connected to this region.

It’s a course that challenges, surprises, and invites you to experience Nova Scotia in a new way.
