Our Story
Local Catch 143 is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of South Shore's seafood while revitalizing the value of locally sourced fish. The journey began with a deep concern for the declining worth of locally caught fish and the challenges faced by local fishermen. Recognizing the disconnect between South Shore consumers and their abundant seafood options, a change was essential.
Driven by the conviction that everyone should have access to fresh, sustainably sourced seafood, the initiative was launched to ensure that locally caught fish remains accessible and affordable for all. The mission is straightforward yet profound: to revitalize the worth of these catches, cherishing their superior taste and quality.
In a market dominated by imports from distant lands, Local Catch 143 stands firm in the belief of the unmatched quality of local catches. While supermarket shelves are filled with fish from far-off places, the organization advocates for the authenticity and benefits of choosing locally sourced seafood.
Education has been pivotal to the mission, spotlighting the intricate process behind catching and preserving fish, emphasizing traceability, and showcasing the unmistakable flavor of locally sourced seafood. Diverse menus have been curated to encourage consumers to explore and savor the culinary possibilities offered by coastal waters.
Choosing local isn't just about taste; it's a sustainable choice benefiting both consumers and the environment. Local Catch 143 actively works to dispel misconceptions about fishermen, highlighting their role as stewards of the ocean and advocates for responsible fishing. This story is a testament to the power of community, resilience, and shared values.
