Eat Fresher Fish. Support Our Local Fishing Industry.
Dear %%user-name%%,
Welcome to Week 15 of our Community Supported Fishery (CSF) Fall Session! Just one week left, to complete our 16 week Fall Session! Thanks so much to all our Annual Members who have been getting fish all Season long, since mid-April!
Don't forget to sign up for our ANNUAL HOLIDAY SEAFOOD MEDLEY Session for December. Four seasonal and local NH seafood species, a different selection each week. This year we will offer: Mussels, Halibut, Oysters and Scallops, in that order, for the 4 weeks of December! Make is Seafood for the Holidays! Don't like a selection? Skip that week and double up on another selection you like! SIGN UP HERE!
The Catch of the Week is Acadian Redfish, our New England Grouper species that looks like it swam north from Florida!
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
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.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Redfish fillets are thin and have the skin on. All the good Omega-3's are in the skin! Cook these fillets for just a few minutes, on each side if frying, grilling or sauteing! Season overnight for full flavor.

Our Catch of the Week this week is Atlantic Pollock and our Shellfish this week are local NH grown Oysters, from our friends at Virgin Oyster Company, in Dover.
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. 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". 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!

Hello former Member or Mailing List member,
I want to let you know about an exciting upcoming event, right in our backyard! Some of you may have heard that a group of NH-based, regional and national food, fishing, and farming organizations have come together to organize a candidates' forum at UNH in Durham on November 5th.
The Food Solutions Forum is a non-partisan event and we have invited all candidates who are actively campaigning in NH. We will have two panels at the forum, with fishing industry (including NH Community Seafood) and farming industry panelists as well as managers and directors of various food systems organizations in NH.
Register early for this exciting event HERE, it's free! Hope to see you there! Sign up early, before it fills up!
All the best,

Welcome to Week 12 of our Community Supported Fishery! We have a New England favorite this week for all of you, Atlantic Haddock and our Biweekly Shellfish Share is Jonah Crabs.
Plentiful and abundant, Haddock is a New England staple, that is well managed by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Jonah Crabs are caught with lobster in traps and are becoming a local favorite for many seacoast residents! Jonah Crabs used to be thought of as a bycatch species and now are one of our Shellfish Add ons!
Don't miss the NH Food Solutions Forum, next Tuesday, November 5 at UNH, from 10am-1pm in the Granite State Room. I will be there on a panel and moderating another panel, and we are inviting all Presidential candidates to the forum. Register here, it's free!
CATCH OF THE WEEK-HADDOCK
ATLANTIC HADDOCK
A cousin to the cod, the popular 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.
KNOW YOUR FISHERMEN
Your Fisherman this Week is Guestboat from Portland, F/V Gracelyn Jane, Captain Brian Pearce and crew. Thanks to the crew for our Haddock this week! None of our NH fishermen are currently catching Haddock.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Haddock is incredibly versatile. You can substitute it in almost any fish recipe and it's a staple in New England fish chowder! Baked, grilled, broiled or pan sauteed, you can't lose with Haddock.
Here are some great recipe ideas for Haddock on our Pinterest Page, or check out our blog recipe ideas and videos here. (This is a link to our blog, with lots of interesting stories and recipe ideas)
Haddock fillets are firm and tender. They are denser than a cod fillet and have a sweet, mild flavor. Most fried fish sandwiches and fish and chips meals you will find in New England are haddock. This is a well managed and abundant New England species and is plentiful in our Gulf of Maine.
Remember the Cardinal Cooking Rule for Fish: Cook fish 10 minutes per inch of fillet thickness! If you use this method, you can never go wrong with any of our fish!
