Hi Joey-
Emily here from Cape Ann Fresh Catch. We’ve got a new season coming up
and I was wondering if you could help us spread the word:
We’re pleased to announce the launch of a new fall/ winter season of
weekly fresh seafood deliveries across eastern Massachusetts starting
in November. Cape Ann Fresh Catch was created with three main goals:
to support the local fishing fleet and promote the historic port of
Gloucester, to encourage sustainable fisheries practices, and to
provide consumers like you with a truly unparalleled seafood
experience. Local deliveries will take place at TURNERS SEAFOOD MARKET
on 4 SMITH STREET in Gloucester on THURSDAYS.
The CAFC model is simple: we take the freshest locally- caught seafood
available and bring it directly to local communities across eastern
Massachusetts on a regular schedule. Interested consumers become
share-members by signing-up at the beginning of a season and then meet
us once a week to pick up their fresh-caught sustainable seafood.
The structure of the program allows CAFC to provide local fishermen
with a fair, higher-than-average price for their catch and opens up
new markets for some of the lesser-known species of the northwest
Atlantic. Over the course of the current season, CAFC has been
pleased to provide its share-members with such varieties as blue fish,
hake, monktail, pollock, skate, whiting, and red fish, as well as
staples like cod, haddock and flounder. Because of our simple and
direct boat-to-consumer model, the fish is simply the freshest that
you can come by- completely unprocessed and never frozen. CAFC
seafood is good for the local economy, good for the environment, and
good for you!
After a full year in operation, CAFC has listened to the comments and
concerns of its share-members and has revamped its share options.
Share-members can choose between a variety of convenient pick-up
locations, whole fish or fillets, and are guaranteed the opportunity
to try a wide variety of seafood caught right off our own shores. New
this season, share-members will be able to choose between weekly or
bi-weekly pick-ups. In addition, to further the goal of promoting
underutilized species, all share-members will be provided with
northern native shrimp- caught right here in the Gulf of Maine- at
least once during this season.
This new Fall/Winter CSF season will start in early November and run
through February of 2011. Details regarding pick-up times and
locations, the delivery schedule and signing up will be posted on our
website as soon as they are available: www.capeannfreshcatch.org.
Thanks!
Good Morning Gloucester
