Yankee Fisherman’s Cooperative of Seabrook has announced a new CSF! Following the success of their native shrimp CSF this past winter, the cooperative will now be offering whole fish and lobster. Via the Portsmouth Herald/SeacoastOnline.com:

 

Fisherman’s Coop offers Community Supported Fishery program

 

Seabrook’s Yankee Fisherman’s Cooperative catches 2 million pounds of fish yearly, but only 3 percent stays in New Hampshire as the catch is sold to vendors in Massachusetts, Maine, New York and Canada.

 

“New Hampshire has this resource and it’s not being taken advantage of,” said Bob Campbell, manager of the Yankee Fisherman’s Cooperative, which has 61 members.

 

As part of its ongoing efforts to keep their fresh seafood local, the cooperative has created a Community Supported Fishery (CSF) program for whole fish and lobster. The eight-week program is inspired by Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), in which participants pay up front for a guaranteed stream of fish throughout the summer.

 

“It’s peace of mind, knowing where your food is coming from,” Campbell said.

 

Buyers have a variety of choices for the eight-week CSF including the catch of the day or lobster as well as options alternating fish and lobster each week. Prices range from $140 to $400 for the program, which runs July 10 to Aug. 28.
