Hello %%user-name%%,

Welcome to Week 7 of our Community Supported Fishery (CSF)! Our Dayboat fishermen out of Seabrook, NH are in their third week of the flounder season and we are going to get it while it's hot! We will have two species of flounder served up this week, the Yellowtail flounder, Limanda ferruginea, and the American Plaice, aka "dabs", Hippoglossoides platessoides.

 American Plaice Flounder  

  Yellowtail Flounder

The American Plaice or "Dabs" are a cold water species that range from southern Labrador to Rhode Island and in the eastern Atlantic from Greenland to northern Europe. Dabs live on the sandy/mud bottom and prefer deep water. Some can be found as deep as 700m (about 2100ft). They are reddish to gray-brown on top and have a blueish white underside. They have a distinctly pointy nose and rough scales. Plaice is a white, lean flaky fish with a mild flavor.

The Yellowtail flounder is found in the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to the Chesapeake Bay. It is the Cadillac of the flounder species.  The species got its name from the yellow tint on the tail and fins that encompass the top and bottom of the flattened out, eyes- on- top anatomy of this species. Like all flounders, the yellowtail spends most of its time on the bottom of the ocean, particularly in sandy bottoms and is basically sedentary unless disturbed or hungry. It is a right eyed flounder.

The flesh of this bottom dweller is lean and firm with a distinctly sweet taste often used as the standard when comparing the flavor of other flounder species. Here are some great flounder recipes from our Pinterest Page: https://www.pinterest.com/nhcsf/flounder/ and for Plaice specifically: https://www.pinterest.com/nhcsf/plaice/

Our NH Dayboat Fisherman this week is Veteran Dave Goethel of the F/V Ellen Diane. Dave has been a true advocate for NH Groundfishermen and is currently in the National news for fighting the newly enforced regulations by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) concerning their new ruling about At Sea Monitors.

Dear %%user-name%%,

Welcome to Week 6 of our Community Supported Fishery! I hope you have been enjoying the diverse array of  local fish so far this Session! This week is a big treat. Despite strict regulations on the cod fishery, our fishermen are still able to land a small portion of this New England favorite. This week, we bring you the King of the Atlantic, the Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua.

Cod became regionally popular as early as the 1600's here in New England. However, over the past hundred years, there has been an international demand for all forms of cod, including the age old "salted cod", which keeps for up to a year and is used widely all over the world in a variety of cuisines. With this increased demand in cod and an ever increasing world population, came a severely overfished and poorly regulated fishery. Additionally, is has been proven that many cod stocks are migrating further north due to the rapid rise in temperature of the Gulf of Maine over the past two decades.

For these reasons, since the year 2000, cod stocks in some areas of the Gulf of Maine have been on a dramatic decline and this has redefined the fishing industry in New England as a whole. Our once thriving NH fishing fleet is now down to no more than 9 active boats, throughout the entire Seacoast!

Most of the cod you see for sale in your local grocery store has been coming in frozen from Iceland and Norway, as cod migrate north and flourish in those waters, with less restrictive limitations on the fishery.

Cod is great cooked any way: baked, broiled, sautéed, grilled or steamed. It's also very popular in New England Fish Chowder. Remember the cardinal rule for cooking any fish; 10 minutes per inch of fillet thickness, any way you cook it. Here are some great recipe ideas for cod, including some New England favorites: www.pinterest.com/explore/cod-recipes/

Our Fisherman for this week is veteran seafarer and NHCS Board Member, Jamie Hayward of the F/V Heidi Elisabeth. Jamie is the last remaining groundfisherman who still lands fish at the Portsmouth Fishing Pier. Thanks to Jamie and his crew for bringing us this local treat this week!

Dear %%user-name%%,

Happy Memorial Day and a special thank you to all our Members who have served in our US Military. We honor you today!

Due to the Holiday and regulations currently preventing our Dayboat fishermen from fishing until this Wednesday, June 1, we will be obtaining Flounder for Wednesday,Thursday and Fridays deliveries. We will have to substitute Haddock for our Tuesday deliveries this week.

This is the dynamic nature of the Fishing industry, while we try very hard to provide one species all week to our customers, sometimes those fish are simply not available. And you know the saying, "variety is the spice of life"!

 ALL TUESDAY PICK UPS, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE ATLANTIC HADDOCK, a familiar and delicious cousin of the Atlantic Cod. 

While most of you have tried this Atlantic favorite, I can bet you've never had it as fresh as you will this week! The Haddock spans both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In our western Atlantic, Haddock can be found from Newfoundland to Cape May, New Jersey. A cold water species, the Haddock is most abundant in the Gulf of Maine and especially offshore on Georges Bank.

Haddock prefer a gravel or rocky bottom and can live up to 10 years old. Grayish-silver in color, with a distinctive black lateral line and black 'thumbprint" along the side, haddock are also easily recognized by their pointed, shark-like, front dorsal fin. This species feeds primarily on mollusks, crustaceans and herring. 

Haddock fillets are firm and tender. They are denser than a cod fillet and have a sweet, mild flavor. Most fried fish sandwiches you will find in New England are haddock. This is a staple and abundant New England species. 

 Sauteed haddock with a nut and herb topping

Here are some great recipe ideas for Haddock: https://www.pinterest.com/graffambros/haddock-recipes/.

FOR OUR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY PICK UPS, YOU WILL RECEIVE FLOUNDER..EITHER YELLOWTAIL OR AMERICAN PLAICE ("DABS") from our Dayboat Fishermen! It will be there first day out and we are excited to be able to get their first catch of the season!

American Plaice Flounder  

 Yellowtail Flounder

 The American Plaice or "Dabs" are a cold water species that range from southern Labrador to Rhode Island and in the eastern Atlantic from Greenland to northern Europe.

Dear %%user-name%%,

We are already on Week 4 of our Session. There are a limited number of NH boats fishing for the month of May. We try to offer a wide variety of different NH fish species throughout the session. However, we are committed to trying to always buy from NH boats, so for that very reason, we are serving up what is being caught this week, which is once again the delicious Atlantic Pollock, Pollachius virens. 

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.

Additional Fish Orders and Lobster Ravioli Add-ons:

Want some more pollock for this week?

If you love Pollock or just need some extra fish this week, we are now offering our Additional Fish Orders to be made until 9pm tonight. The same goes for our Lobster Ravioli Add-Ons. You now have until tonight, Monday at 9pm to order these delicious treats to be included in your share for this week! Additional fish will come in 1lb packages and the Lobster Ravioli will now be labelled with your name on the bag and placed on top of the coolers.

Nuts over Fish, a NH based company run by Shareholder and CSF Member Cinde Vandette, will be making their product available to members starting next week.

An insanely delicious gluten free nut topping made with ALL NATURAL nuts and spices that will instantly enhance your Salmon or YOUR favorite fresh fish!

All six toppings will make you fall "crazy" in love with any fish!

Look for these products to be available to order with your fish in the upcoming weeks!

HOLDS AND DOUBLES:

We offer a flexible hold system if you are away for a week during our session. To access this feature, use the Member Login on our website.

Welcome to Week 3 of NH Community Seafood's CSF!  I hope you are enjoying your fish.

This week's Catch of the Week is White Hake, Urophycis tenuis, otherwise called "Mud Hake".

Distinguished by the white barbels on the chin and white spots, White Hake are found from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Hatteras, NC and occasionally some schools will stray into deep waters off the coast of Florida. White hake migrate from cooler, deeper waters in the winter to warmer, shallower waters in the spring and summer. Some juveniles can be found in estuaries in the summer. Adult hake can live up to 20 years old and female white hake are among the most fertile of all groundfish (the fish that live on the bottom or "ground" of the ocean), producing up to several million eggs in one spawn!

Despite it's name, the hake is not all white, it is a mud-colored (hence the nickname, "Mud Hake"), white spotted fish on the sides, bronze-gold colored on top and white on the underbelly. Hake have a rather large mouth, the cardinal barbel and very long pectoral (the ones on the sides) fins that have ray- like projections spanning off the body.

White hake are delicious because they primarily eat small crustaceans like lobsters and crabs and shrimp! What a bonus for us! Their flesh has a thick, white meaty consistency and cooks up nicely. Here is a link to some great recipes on Pinterest,https://www.pinterest.com/explore/hake-recipes/. 

Our Fisherman this week for the majority of our shares is NH Sector fisherman, Fanel Dobre, owner of  the F/V Angela Michelle. A guest boat out of Gloucester helped catch the remainder of our hake for this week.

Additional Fish Orders and Lobster Ravioli Add-ons:

If you love hake or just need some extra fish this week, we are now offering our Additional Fish Orders to be made until 9pm tonight. The same goes for our Lobster Ravioli Add-Ons. You now have until tonight, Monday at 9pm to order these delicious treats to be included in your share for this week! Additional fish will come in 1lb packages and the Lobster Ravioli will now be labelled with your name on the bag and placed on top of the coolers.

Lobster Ravioli Add ons now available to order online until 9pm tonight!

HOLDS AND DOUBLES:

We offer a flexible hold system if you are away for a week during our session. To access this feature, use the Member Login on our website. Here you may select the week you want for us to "hold" your share and the week you want us to "double up". When you receive your double share, it will be in the same size bags as your regular share and you will pick up two packages. For example, if you are signed up for a 1lb share, your double share will come in two 1lb packages. The same goes for 1/2 lb and 2lb double shares. 

SELF-SERVE PICK UPS:

We have 17 pick ups throughout the state and one in Dracut, Massachusetts. Due to the number of pick ups we offer, some of them are self-serve. If you are picking up from a self-serve pick up, please remember to check the weight of your share on the bag and check your name off the pick up list. We have had some confusion with members accidentally picking up the wrong share sizes at our self serve pick ups and leaving other members empty handed!

Larger self serve pick ups will have 2 coolers: one with just 1lb shares and the other with 2lb and 1/2lb shares, easily distinguishable from one another.

Each bag is labelled with the size of the share and each share is bagged in a different sized bag, according to weight. 2lb shares are in large gallon sized square bags, 1lb shares are in medium sized square bags and 1/2lb shares are in smaller, rectangular sized bags. Here's what they look like side by side:

Brookford Farm Partnership:

Get fresh organic produce, milk products, meats and more along with your fish shares

Brookford Farm, in Canterbury, NH and NH Community Seafood have a long history. Brookford Farm delivers shares for us to some of our pick up locations beyond the Seacoast region. They also help hand out shares for us at some locations. AND, they have a fantastic CSA program with farm fresh organic produce, eggs, milk products, handmade bread and meats! You can get your CSA share from Brookford along with your fish at these pick up locations: Nashua, Manchester, Exeter and Canterbury. Summer Sessions start June 6!

Thank you for supporting NH's only Community Supported Fishery. We have rolling enrollment until August and our 8-week Summer Session starts June 21 if you know anyone who has tried our fish and wants to sign up!

All the best,

Andrea

Welcome to Week 2 of our Spring/Summer CSF Session!  Our first week of distribution went well, except for a few issues with our self serve pick ups. If you are a member at a self serve pick up, there are a few things we will need you to do to ensure everyone is getting the correct share size:

Self serve Pick up Checklist:

1. Please check your bag label for lb amount to make sure you are taking the correct share size. You signed up for %%member-types-text%%. Your share size is also listed on the pick up sheet.Here are the three share sizes, bagged according to weight. 

These are the three share sizes, 2lb, 1lb and 1/2lb. 

If your pick up has two coolers, one will always have 1lb shares  and the other will have 2lb and 1/2lb shares. Add- ons are typically on top of the coolers.

2. Check your name off the pick up list 

3. Enjoy your fresh fish

This week's Catch of the Week is the Monkfish. Formerly caught as by-catch in otter trawls and gillnets, 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  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 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.

Cook monkfish as you would any other fish, and remember the cardinal rule, 10 minutes an inch! The monkfish "fillets" are wide and thick, because they are the tail meat. Marinating the tails and seasoning before cooking adds to the flavor. Baked, sauteed, broiled, roasted or grilled, these tails are fantastic!

Here are some great recipe ideas for monkfish: https://www.pinterest.com/fishisthedish/monkfish-recipes/.

Our fishermen this week are "guest boats" from the Portland, Maine area. Only two of our NH fishermen are fishing this week and their catch is being landed far away in New Bedford, Mass. In these rare cases early in the season, when many of our NH Dayboat Fishermen are not yet fishing, we rely on our neighboring fishermen for fish. Thanks to the   F/V Christina Carol for a majority of our Monkfish this week!

ADD ONS:

You can still order Lobster Ravioli and Additional fish by 9pm tonight!

We currently have two Add-ons available for Members toorder in addition to their fish share. They are Lobster Ravioli and. You must be paid in full to order Add-ons through our website. Just pay with a credit or debit card using our Paypal. You do not need a Paypal account. Add on orders are typically due by Sunday night, however we are extending today's Add -on order to 9pm tonight, since we forgot to send you a reminder!

Don't forget the upcoming fundraiser for nhptv, with a panel discussion moderated by NHCS Secretary Erik Chapman:

Also, we will soon be offering a delicious fish seasoning blend, Nuts to Fish, brought to us by CSF member and NHCS Shareholder, Cinde Vandette of Hampstead. We will offer this product as an Add-on  midway through this Session, stay tuned!

It's not too late to get your friends, family and coworkers on board! We will have a revolving enrollment until July for this session!

Thank you for supporting NH Community Seafood and enjoy the monkfish!

Cheers,

Andrea

It's our final week of the Holiday Seafood Medley Session and NH Community Seafood's final week of the season.  Thank you all for participating in this unique blend of NH's freshest seafood for the Holiday Season. We will surely feature this again next year.
