About your Host

Growing up a fifth-generation Rhode Islander has made Zack appreciate the ocean and all it has to offer. From beautiful beaches to afternoon boat rides, and fresh seafood- Zack can say he has truly been spoiled. When he moved to Tahoe he’d find myself getting homesick- not just for his family, but for the fresh seafood he’d been so used to eating his whole life.

With Truckee growing more and more each year our locals and visitors expect things that we haven’t always focused on. While we’re a long way from the coast; Buoy and Trap is here to offer premium seafood on a retail and prepared food level. Whether you are searching for some nice halibut or cod to cook for yourself at home, a nutrient dense poke bowl for lunch, or want to unwind with a glass of champagne and a dozen oysters, Zack and his team are here to fill that void. They use premium ingredients and simple, family recipes to really let their products shine.

Community Connections events are hosted by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce as a way for residents to connect with different aspects of the community. Whether you are new to Truckee or are a long time local, Community Connection events can help you to feel more connected and learn new ways to enjoy our beautiful town.
