What’s for dinner tonight?  Before you reach into the freezer to pull out an over-processed and low quality fillet, sink your line on this thought… grocery store seafood has been frozen once, twice, or three times over.  Ask yourself this question:

fresh seafood ready to enjoy whenever I want?

IT IS OUR MORAL RESPONSIBILITY 

Combat illegal international fishing which deprives legal fishermen and coastal communities of up to $23 billion in seafood and seafood products annually.  Illegal international fishing also threatens the long-term sustainability of global seafood supplies. Illegal fishing can include activities such as:

  • Fishing without a license or quota for certain species.   

  • Unauthorized transshipments to cargo vessels.   

  • Failing to report catches or making false reports. 

  • Keeping undersized fish or fish that are otherwise protected by regulations.

  •  Fishing in closed areas or during closed seasons. 

  •  Using prohibited fishing gear. 

  • Using slave labor.

On a lovely fall day in sunny southern California, I was pulling lobster gear with my husband. We were returning octopus, crabs, and various other species back into the water. I couldn't believe this seafood wasn't being enjoyed by our local communities. Being from Seattle, WA I grew up eating a large variety of really delicious seafood. Now living in Ventura, CA I found myself amazed at how disconnected the working waterfronts were with the millions of consumers just outside our harbors. Do they know how delightfully edible the seafood is right here in our Southern California local waters?  

Since day one, a genuine love and passion for our catch and our own market patrons have defined who we are and what we do. We educate customers daily on the variety and uniqueness of what our local ocean has to share.
