Hi Joey,
Thanks so much again for having me on your GMG Podcast Show last month. I really appreciated getting the word out about the City of Gloucester’s new 30% hotel tax contribution to tourism. Plus it was just really was great talking to you and Kim!!!
As you may know, The Fishermen’s Wives Association, the City of Gloucester and Snap Chef participated in the Boston Seafood Festival on Sunday, August 2nd. The goal was to promote Gloucester and Red Fish as an underutilized species.
Attached is a release with more information along with some images of Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken and Angela Sanfilippo, Presient of the Fishermen’s Wives Association who conducted food demonstrations for the crowds of people.
FUN FACTS: The team prepared and distributed 62 gallons of Redfish Soup during the Festival!
Nearly 15,000 people attended the show and at the Gloucester booth approximately 5,000 samples of the redfish soup were distributed!

  1. Oh boy memory lane here 🙂 The redfish taste good in soups and there are many ways to cook it up may not be as popular as other species but balance is about using all forms in the circle of life and seas stocked. Back in the 60’s we used the racks after many fish have been filleted for lobster pots. 🙂 Dave
