Cape Ann Fresh Catch 2010 News!
Dear Members and Potential Members,
The Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association’s Cape Ann Fresh Catch Community Supported Fishery program is ready to start things rolling for the new May 2010 season. For us, we’ve been very busy in the off-season.
We’ve made some major changes to our communication tools and data management systems. We’ve redesigned our website- www.capeannfreshcatch.org -upgraded our email tools, overhauled our database, and soon, we’ll have online registration and payment. And that’s just the electronic stuff…
At the heart of CAFC’s mission–getting fresh, sustainable seafood on to your table–we’ve got three new delivery sites: Mills, Lexington, and Hamilton. Three other sites–Groton, Dracut, and Boston/Fenway– need more support to get the numbers up to make it economically feasible for us. (If you’d care to help, on our new website you can find and download pull-tab flyers. By printing and posting these pull-tab flyers in high visibility places in your community, you can help promote and “sustain” the viability of your delivery site…)
As for our offerings, we’re adding fillets to this season’s line up. Fillets required a whole new level of logistical considerations. You folks asked for them. We now offer them. Also, following up on the popularity of the alternating share, we’ll have another alternating share, one week whole fish, the next week fillets.
This a turbulent time for all of New England’s fishing communities. Your support in this venture gives a clear signal to our local boats and crews that their work is honored, respected, and most importantly, valued!
Here is a link to the May 2010 contract: http://capeannfreshcatch.org/may2010_contract.pdf. For your convenience, the first page is an interactive form you can fill out in a PDF reader and then print. Please retain a copy for your records. We hope to have an online registration and payment system up and running shortly. Check our website regularly for its rollout. If you’d like to mail in the contract with your payment check sooner, that’d be greatly appreciated.
Again, we thank you all for your support of our local fishermen through your participation in the Cape Ann Fresh Catch Community Supported Fishery.
Sincerely,
Angela Sanfilippo (GFWA President) and the CAFC CSF Staff

Big-Ass Shrimp at Kirk’s Seafood Naples Florida
As most of you know whenever I go on vacation I try to swing by whatever seafood establishments are around and talk to the people there to get a feeling of what is happening in their corner of the world.
Kirk Seafood is a retail store located across the street from Cambier Park. The park we bring the girls in the heart of olde Naples, Florida. I popped in and commented about the “Big-Ass Shrimp” sign saying “Big-Ass Shrimp! I Love That!” The woman behind the counter replied “well I loved writing it!”
Come to find out she was the owner and a Massachusetts native. She had married a fisherman from Marco Island over 20 years ago and moved down to be with him.
We got to talking about fishing and the regulations which have pretty much decimated the commercial fishing industry down there. I thought we had it bad where we are but it seems the commercial fishing lobby down south was no match for the regulators down there. So she turned to retail and has a beautiful store. Spottless and the fish was the freshest I’ve seen down here. We talked for a good bit-until my spidey senses told me the Mrs probably had had enough and she was ready to hit the park.

The Farm Bar and Grille Tiki Bar Construction Pics
The Boys From The Farm Write-
Hey Joey-
We are building an outdoor tiki bar to add to the dining experience in our backyard. It will feature frozen drinks along with plastic bottles and cans. This will give horseshoe and volleyball players more access to food and beverages. Additionally, we are building a seating area for our ice cream patrons so they will be blocked off from the parking lot.
You gotta give it up to these guys. They innovate!

They were just making donuts in this machine ten minutes prior to me taking this shot. This entire piece of donut making equipment looks like it just was set up brand new out of the box. If cleanliness is next to godliness then Willow Rest must be heaven.

Let’s Get Together and Feel Alright Wrap Up From Caitlin Featherstone
From Caitlin Featherstone-
Cape Ann TimeBank celebrated the beginning of spring with a crowd of dancing, grooving folks at Alchemy last Saturday. With over 100 people attending our “Let’s Get Together and Feel Alright” dance party at Alchemy, it was one of their biggest community events ever. The crowd was a mix of TimeBank regulars and members, interested folks and people drawn by the music of the band, Groove.
A raffle that included offers from TimeBank members piqued interest in the TimeBank and raised some money. Winners were excited about taking advantage of massage, kayak lessons, garden design, photo portraits and a night at Inn Magnolia.
The evening netted us about $1000 US dollars. This does not include the immeasurable goodwill and community awareness that the event also provoked.
Thanks to members who put up posters, distributed postcards, worked the door, sold raffle tickets and organized countless details that made the evening seamless and enjoyable even for the organizers.
Thanks also to James Auditore Events, Alchemy and Groove, without whom the event would not have been possible.
For more information about Cape Ann TimeBank or to join, please contact Cheryl Davis (cdavis_62@hotmail.com) or Nancy Goodman (ngoodman52@yahoo.com).

Heather Atwood and Lenny Linquata Tape The 100th Episode Of The Gloucester Daily Times Taste of The Times
Last night The Gloucester Daily Times held it’s 100th taping of it’s Taste of The Times Food Show at Cruiseport Gloucester. My buddy and new GMG contributor Joe Langhan asked me to go and I didn’t know if I would be able to make it but my sister Felicia was going to be there and things just happened to fall into place to allow me to make it. I expected there to be about 30-40 people there but when I pulled up there was a capacity crowd of about 250.
It was a great night for several reasons- I got to meet a lot of the people from the Times that I email with often but never had met face to face along with many friends and fans of the blog that I’d never met in person. There was a ton of food there. I mean a TON but even though I hadn’t eaten beforehand I only sampled a few excellent pieces of sushi from Lat 43 and a small cup of the new Folly Cove rum from Ryan and Wood Distillery. I was starving but meeting new people will always trump hunger. Making friends to me is what life is all about.
Good Morning Gloucester
