[cape-ann-fc.livejournal.com]

Want to take part in Somerville’s newest sustainability initiative? With summer in the air, Cape Ann Fresh Catch (CAFC)- Community Supported Fishery (CSF) is pleased to announce that it will be coming to UNION SQUARE with fresh seafood deliveries set to start at the beginning of July. The fish is locally caught, fresh and delicious and the price is right—this program offers a sustainable and fun way to try something interesting and new this summer! Along with unparalleled freshness and flavor, this fish also comes with an added benefit: peace of mind. While enjoying into your locally caught dinner, you can pat yourself on the back for being green and supporting the local economy as well. CAFC fish is caught by community-based fishermen using sustainable fishing methods. Also, CAFC provides these local fishermen with a fair, higher-than-average price for their catch- helping many of them to stay in business during these tough economic times. During its two years in operation, CAFC has been pleased to provide its share-members with such varieties as bluefish, 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 usually swimming the morning before it hits your plate- completely unprocessed and never frozen. CAFC seafood is good for the local economy, good for the environment, and good for you! A variety of share options are available to best suit your family’s needs. You can pick up your fish in UNION SQUARE on SATURDAYS from 11am-1pm. Please see the CAFC website for more information on the program: www.capeannfreshcatch.org.

I've been a member of CAFC for two seasons now. I did the first on a leap of faith with my partner: I had never been a fan of fish outside of canned tuna and sushi, but he convinced me to try this in order to try *fresh* fish. The difference between fish from a grocery store or in a restaurant and the caught-that-day deliveries from CAFC is astounding. I love the dinners we have on days of CAFC deliveries.

I cannot recommend this program strongly enough. Their fish is amazing. A share will be enough for 3-4 people to split between if you all want to eat it that day, or of course fewer people can freeze the portion they don't use immediately.
