Today we are going back to 1975 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Jaws! Jaws isn’t just a favorite movie, it’s a tradition in our family. Every summer, we go to a little beach town similar to Amity, so we always watch Jaws at the beach house that we rent! So let’s celebrate this iconic movie by making a themed movie menu! We will be making Seaweed Slaw, Chief Brody’s Crab Cakes, Shark Bait Sliders, Shark Attack Sundaes, and to drink, Narragansett Beer and the Amity Beach!
