Hook, Line, and Dinner Stops Off in Baltimore
Seafood connoisseur Ben Sargent recently came through Baltimore, and he brought his cameras with him. A chef, radio personality, and–we kid you not–one-time organizer of an underground, possibly illegal lobster-roll enterprise, Sargent is now in the second season of a new project: the TV show Hook, Line, and Dinner on the Cooking Channel. The episode, which airs Thursday April 26 at 8 p.m., promises to uncover everything this city’s seafood has to offer, tracking fish from initial catch to final preparation at a local seafood joint—not to mention a one-on-one with Chad Wells, owner of the restaurant Alewife and hunter of the menacing snakehead fish, more colloquially known as “Fishzilla.” Bonus: Sargent reportedly catches and eats white perch from the Inner Harbor and lives to tell the tale.
