What is a Community Supported Fishery?

What is a Community Supported Fishery?

Curious about what a Community Supported Fishery (CSF) is and why it matters? A CSF connects seafood lovers directly with local fishermen, ensuring the freshest, highest-quality catch while supporting sustainability. It works like a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program—except instead of farm-fresh veggies, you get premium wild-caught seafood straight from the source.


How It Works

Our customers purchase a share of our fishermen’s catch before the season starts, helping small-scale fishermen focus on sustainable harvesting. In return, they receive top-tier seafood delivered from our boats to your table.


Why Join our CSF?

  1. Unmatched Freshness & Quality – Wild-caught, carefully handled, and process by hand at peak freshness.

  2. Support Local Fishermen – Cutting out middlemen ensures fair compensation and sustains independent fisheries.

  3. Sustainability – Responsible fishing practices protect marine ecosystems for future generations.

  4. Transparency – Know exactly where your seafood comes from and who caught it.
