NHCS Newsletter: WEEK 10: WHITE HAKE/OYSTERS

Posted 7/17/2020 4:48pm by Andrea Tomlinson.

Eat Fresher Fish.  Support Our Local Fishing Industry.

 

 

Welcome to Week 10, starting on Monday, of our Community Supported Fishery. And thanks to all our 8-week Members who extended their Membership!

The Catch of the Week is White Hake, a first for the season.  Our Biweekly Shellfish share is NH grown Oysters from our favorite oyster farmer, Brian Gennaco at Virgin Oyster Company, out of Dover, NH.

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
  • Oysters next week will come in bags of 1 dozen, no 5 dozen bags are available
  • 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 from our Guestboat fleet landing in Portland, Maine. Please check our Facebook page on Monday for specific boat and Captian names!

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.
