From the Fishery:
To us, sustainable fishing, farming, processing, and sourcing means:
Our fish always comes from well-managed fisheries, or those with Fisheries Improvement Plans in place with healthy stocks. We continue to undertake research to ensure we manage fisheries with the best practices and quality of scientific information available.
The methods we use to fish and farm are aimed to reduce unintended impacts. This means ensuring we utilize the fish we catch, avoid significant negative impact on young fish or their habitat and develop the best practices to reduce the risk of bycatching marine animals and seabirds.
We make sure we minimize impacts on any endangered or threatened species by using technology, research, and mitigation programs, as well as supporting protection areas.
We trace our products from boat to plate.

Sow Hake have a close resemblance to Cod and Haddock with a larger flake and "Fluffier" texture. They inhabit extremely deep waters and rise to mid depth at night to feed. The Sow Hake are harvested during this time by Hook and Line "Jig" Day Boat Operators. Sow Hake are a delicate "softer" flesh than other New England Round Fish. They are, indeed, a highly sought species by "Local" minded New England Chefs. They contain high levels of fish "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to incredible moisture levels in the prepared flesh. The culinary application is vast. Think it and Hake will handle it. Poach, Saute, Broil, Grill, Salt-Cure, Smoke.

Natural Mussel spat is collected from mid to late summer on the long-lines and brought back to American Mussel. At American Mussel the spat is graded and mesh socks are loaded and returned to the farm in September and October for the growing process. By mid-spring, some of the crop is ready for the market and harvesting begins. Due to the growing process and the unlimited food supply, the shells are as pristine as possible, and the meat is the largest we have seen. The flavor is wonderfully sweet with a slight hint of that wonderful Narragansett Bay salinity. The clean blue shells have waves of gold radiating through.
Creamy, Delicate, Moist
This fish is not related to the Warehou species or other members of the Centrolophidae family which are called Butterfish in Japan. It is also not related to Walu or Escolar that is sometimes marketed as Butterfish in Hawaii. This is the real Butterfish, truly worthy of its name. Very Rich and Delicate! Poach, Saute, Broil, Steam.
