It's Week 7 of our Fall Session with Add-ons like fresh, raw Oysters from Virgin Oyster Company, Dover, NH and our delectable nutty, herb topping called Nuts over Fish all to go along with your share of Atlantic Pollock this week! What a great week to be a NH Community Seafood CSF Member!
We were also featured in the Concord Monitor this past week, check it out here: http://food.concordmonitor.com/2016/09/28/guess-consumers-can-support-new-hampshire-fishermen.
You can find all our media attention plus many informative and educational posts on our fishing industry on our Facebook Page @ NH Community Seafood. We work hard to keep our page updated with the latest news and stories that involve our NH Fishing Industry.
If you love to take pictures of your fish dish, please post your fish dish on our Facebook page! Our staff and especially other members really enjoy seeing what you can do with our fish. Thanks to all of you who have been posting, we have some very talented chefs amongst us!
And more great news! The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), one of the oldest and most recognized sustainable seafood licensing agencies, just approved New England wild caught Haddock, Pollock and Acadian redfish as sustainably caught seafood. Those involved with the study claim this "allows consumers to buy New England redfish, haddock and pollock with the confidence that the fisheries will continue to be operated and managed in a sustainable manner".
We are proud to offer one of these sustainably certified fish for this week,the Atlantic Pollock, Pollachius virens.
Atlantic Pollock is quickly becoming the new signature New England fish, tasting much like cod and haddock and very abundant. Check out the article which appeared on our Facebook page:http://www.concordmonitor.com/Misunderstood-pollock-a-key-to-New-England-seafood-s-future-2011708.
Atlantic Pollock is related to cod and haddock and sometimes referred to as "Green cod". Atlantic pollock are found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and are most common on the western Scotian Shelf and in the Gulf of Maine. A different species of Atlantic Pollock, commonly known as saithe, is found in the Eastern Atlantic.
