Eat Fresher Fish.  Support Our Local Fishing Industry.

 

Dear %%user-name%%,

Welcome to the first week of our Fall Session, which starts next Tuesday, September 15! Thanks to all our Members that extended to include a Fall Membership and to all our Annual and Flexible members!

You are signed up for %%pickup-title%%, at %%pickup-location%%, at %%pickup-time%%.

 

The Catch of the Week is White Hake, a light, flaky white fish that is very versatile and good eating!

Important things to remember:

  • WE CANNOT SUBSTITUTE HADDOCK FOR THE CATCH OF THE WEEK: Our mission is to market underutilized fish caught by our local fishermen. Please do not take Haddock from your pick up location if you don't care of the Catch of the Week, all haddock is pre-ordered
  • You can check the status of your Membership, credits, holds, and all Add on orders here, at our Member Login portal
  • Biweekly Shellfish week starts Week 2 of Fall Session
  • Biweekly Shellfish Shares are all prepaid, but we have extras most times for all members
  • Every pound of seafood you purchase from our cooperative helps to benefit a local fisherman or woman, thanks so much
     
KNOW YOUR FISHERMAN
 
Our fishermen for the week will be the F/V Lady Victoria, out of Seabrook, Captian Puggy Felch, with deckhand Colin and Liam Barnard and the F/V Witchcraft, out of Rye, Captain Jay Driscoll and deckhand Lucas Raymond. Both fishermen are members of our partner, Yankee Fishermen's Cooperative, in Seabrook!

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

White hake are delicious because they primarily eat small crustaceans like lobsters, crabs and shrimp! Their flesh is white, thick and has a flaky consistency and cooks up nicely. Here is a link to some great recipes on Pinterest Page here.  

Hake is very versatile. Try seasoning them the night before for superior flavor.

RESTAURANT SUPPORTED FISHERY

We have a growing Restaurant Supported Fishery (RSF), where Chefs and Retailers order fish through us, directly from our Fishermen. They are able to give customers local Catch of the Week Fish, the Captain and Boat name and the day the fish was landed! Check it out here on our website and visit one of our many Restaurants and Retailers that support serving locally sourced Fish!
We work with Three River Farmers Alliance to reach a wide variety of Restaurants, Retailers and Institutions for our RSF program.
