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.
