FAQs

What is a CSF?

CSF stands for community supported fishery. It is a new business that has spun off of the community supported agriculture model. Availability is determined by what is being harvested during that season and encourages a healthy connection between you and the food you eat. This system creates much tastier meals and better health outcomes for our bodies, our society, and our planet. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page on CSFs. Learn more here.

Is this a subscription service? Do I have to receive an order every week?

No, you don't. You are free to order as you please.

What kind of fish will I receive?

Fish is selected based on seasonal availability and the health of local fisheries. Any species that are overfished or endangered will not be provided. Examples of local healthy populations include: Petrale Sole, Sablefish, Dungeness Crab, Pacific Sanddabs, California Halibut, Rockfish, and Spot Prawns. Species of concern such as Local Chinook Salmon will be available infrequently.
