Restaurants, Markets and Consumers Can Now Support Local Fisheries with “NH Seafood Fresh & Local”Learn more about a new program to serve up more locally landed seafood in our restaurants and markets on July 1
On Wednesday, July 1, at 11 a.m., join us to learn more about “NH Seafood Fresh and Local” a project to get more local seafood onto local plates. This business-to-business meeting is open to anyone who sells/serves seafood.

We’ll meet at Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Cafe, 150 Congress St., Portsmouth. RSVP to [1] info@seacoastlocal.org by June 30.

We’ll share background on the program and plans to launch “New Hampshire Seafood Fresh & Local” brand in restaurants and markets this summer.

The program provides a direct channel to purchase local fish, making it a distinct and unique product for visitors and local customers. It

• Gives your business a greater opportunity to capture its market share for consumers that subscribe to supporting buy/eat local initiatives.
• Helps support a plan that’s good for the fishing industry, your business, and the consumer.
• Offers new seafood opportunities, sources, and ideas intended to help your business.

The brand, “New Hampshire Seafood Fresh & Local,” promises customers that products carrying the seal were caught and processed in New Hampshire, making the fish the freshest, most direct available. In addition, purchase of this product directly supports the local economy and an industry that has been part of the fabric of our community for over 400 years.

At this time there is no cost to participate, though program partners will sign a memorandum of understanding to participate in the poster, logo and web campaign.

Numerous individuals and organizations are collaborating on this project to support the local fishing industry. An online information resource is in the early stages of development at [2] www.nhseafood.com.

Please RSVP so we can guarantee adequate space for the meeting, to [1] info@seacoastlocal.org by June 30.

We look forward to seeing you on July 1!
