News and recipes about the local catch.
Most of the food consumed in the United States travels 1,800 miles and changes hands six times.
In contrast, people who buy Port Clyde Fresh Catch seafood will know exactly where it comes from: the icy waters off the coast of Maine. The locally harvested, wild-caught fish they purchase has traveled only a few miles before reaching area restaurants and other outlets. It’s a fresh, preservative-free product of the highest quality, caught in an environmentally conscious manner and handled with extreme care.
Purchasers of Port Clyde Fresh Catch seafood will also know that they are helping preserve one of the last remaining traditional fishing communities, supporting environmentally sustainable fishing, and strengthening the local economy.
