Eat Fresher Fish. Support Our Local Fishing Industry.
Dear %%user-name%%,
Welcome to Week 2 of our Community Supported Fishery (CSF)! This is the first of our Biweekly Shellfish Week! Oysters are delivered along with your fish shares if you are a Shellfish Member or order them here.
Thanks to all of our Members for participating and helping to shorten the seafood supply chain here i NH and regional fishing communities in Portland and Gloucester.
Important things to remember:
The Catch of the Week is Acadian Redfish, our New England Grouper species that looks and tastes like a southern fish!
Oysters from the beautiful NH estuaries, the Great and Little Bay, are on the menu also. Brought to you by our friends at Virgin Oyster Company, Dover, NH.
CATCH OF THE WEEK-ACADIAN REDFISH
Our fish this week is the Acadian Redfish, otherwise called "Red Perch" or as seen in many local Market Basket chains, "Ocean Perch". Often times, this fish is substituted for the tropical fish, Red Snapper. This is our northern Atlantic Grouper species! This big eyed fish looks like a tropical fish from the islands. A member of the Rockfish (Grouper) family, the Redfish is a deep water, goggle eyed, slow-growing fish that spans from Norway to Georges Bank in our Atlantic Ocean.
Not to be confused with Red Snapper, a southern species down south, the Redfish births live young (very rare with fish) and can live to be up to 50 years old! This species, once thought of as by-catch or lobster bait, is quickly becoming one of the more popular fish in the US, especially here in New England!
KNOW YOUR FISHERMEN
Your Fisherman this will be a Guestboat, F/V Grace Marie, from Gloucester, Mass for the beginning of the week and TBA for the end of the week's catch. Once we know, we will post our Fisherman and his boat name on our Facebook Page.
Acadian Redfish live deep and far offshore. Sometimes, we rely on larger trawlers out of Gloucester, to be able to provide our Members with a wide variety of underutlilized, yet local fish.
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.

Hello %%user-firstname%%,
Welcome to our final week of Spring/Summer Session, starting on Monday, Week 16 of our Community Supported Fishery!
The Catch of the Week will be Atlantic Pollock and our Shellfish Share is Jonah Crabs, 12 crabs per share!
Sorry, we will not be able to offer crabs as Add-ons for our Weekly or Flexible members this week, just our Shellfish Share Members.
Important things to remember:
CATCH OF THE WEEK-ATLANTIC POLLOCK
Atlantic Pollock is quickly becoming the new signature New England fish, tasting much like cod and haddock and very abundant.
Atlantic Pollock is related to cod and haddock and sometimes referred to as "Green cod". Our 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.
Atlantic Pollock differs from Cod in that they have a greenish hue and slightly darker flesh. Not to be confused with Alaskan Pollock, found in the Pacific Ocean and one of the most harvested fish in the world. Alaskan Pollock is often times found in frozen fish sticks and fish fillets and a main ingredient in seafood salad and many processed seafood products.
And according to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI), Atlantic Pollock is also one of the five Gulf of Maine fish, that you really can feel good about eating!
Here are five Gulf of Maine fish that provide an opportunity to support local fishermen, promote a healthy ecosystem, and eat a delicious meal
Whether cooking at home or ordering out, conscientious shoppers often face difficult choices. But when it comes to seafood, there are plenty of fish you can feel good about eating.

Dear %%user-firstname%%,
Welcome to our Week of 14 our Spring/Summer Session. This session runs for 2 more weeks and then we take a week off and our Fall Session starts September 15-January 2.
If you are a 16-week Member and would like to continue for another 16 weeks for Fall, simply update your membership here.
Our Catch of the Week next week will be Monkfish, please try and give Monkfish the credit it deserves, I know it's a unique fish! And I know it looks funny and has an awkward shape, but it is really quite delicious!
Some tips for cooking are in our Cooking Instructions section below! And we have a lot of great recipes on our Pinterest Page too!
Important things to know:
CATCH OF THE WEEK-MONKFISH
Monkfish, aka "Poor Man's Lobster" is really good tasting, but not such a good looking fish
Once caught as by-catch by trawlers and gillnetters, Monkfish have quickly become one of the world's most popular fish. In the west, usually just the tail meat is eaten, but there is a large market for whole monkfish in Asian countries. Also known as "Poor Man's Lobster", monkfish tail meat has both the consistency and distinct taste of this famous crustacean. If you like lobster, you'll love monkfish! And if you don't like lobster, the firm, white fillet when cooked also tastes like a sweetened fish. The flesh is distinct and a purplish-brownish color when raw and turns white once cooked.
Not at all attractive on the outside, Monkfish should not be judged by their outward appearance! They are a brownish color mottled with white spots on top and white on the underbelly. Their habitat spans from the Grand Banks and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence along the Atlantic shoreline south to Cape Hatteras, NC. Monkfish are voracious predators. They lurk on the sandy, muddy bottom and lure their prey with the spiny extension on their head. This "lure" attracts the prey, like bait on a fishing line, bringing the victim close in for the lunge of the monkfish. The unusually broad mouth, adapted to swallow whole fish, shrimp and squid, is lined with layers of stubby white teeth.

Dear %%user-name%%,
Sorry for the delayed newsletter, here is the info for our Catch of the Week and Shellfish share for next week!
Welcome to Week 12 of our Community Supported Fishery (CSF), starting this Monday. Our Catch of the Week will be a treat, Grey Sole from three veteran NH Fishermen. Grey sole is considered a delicacy fish throughout the World!

Grey sole, otherwise known as Witch Flounder live on both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean on muddy sea beds in deep, cold water. In northern Europe and other parts of the World, they are considered a delicacy. Grey sole range from Labrador to North Carolina and are in the Flounder family.
New England has a restricted fishing season for Grey Sole, to protect the managed stock and allow for breeding season, during the summer. Grey sole are delicate and eat sea cucumbers, small crustaceans, and small mollusks.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Grey sole is a thin, delicate fish that only needs a few minutes cooking for each fillet. Remember the Cardinal Cooking Rule for fish: Cook fish 10 minutes per inch of fillet thickness! And these fillets are very thin. If you use this method, you can never go wrong with any of our fish!
Grey sole is low in fat and calories, making them a great choice for your health. Their flavor is mild and sweet, with small flaky fillets. You can grill, bake, broil, deep fry, or sauté grey sole. Due to its mild flavor, it is very versatile in terms of cooking.
A common way to prepare grey sole is with crab meat stuffing and rolingl them into pinwheels and baking. Here are some great recipes for cooking Grey sole, on Pinterest.
