Want to be a #citizenscientist and explore your access to #localseafood? Check out this fun opportunity with @eating_with_the_ecosystem ! 🐟🐟 . . #Repost @eating_with_the_ecosystem with @get_repost ・・・ We are launching our 2nd annual Seafood Market Blitz from March 11th- 24th and need your help! We are looking for citizen scientist volunteers (you!) from all over New England to help collect data at seafood markets! Modeled on the concept of a Bio Blitz, (an intense period of biological surveying conducted by groups of scientists, naturalists, and volunteers in an attempt to record all living species within a given area over a continuous period of time), the Seafood Market Blitz applies this concept to the seafood marketplace to help gain a greater understanding of the composition of seafood in our New England retail markets. What percent of it is local? Where is the seafood that is sold to New England consumers coming from? Does this vary by state and/or store-type? 🦀 As a citizen scientist, you will be assigned to visit one or more seafood retail markets (supermarkets and traditional seafood markets) near you. You can visit your market anytime between March 11th and March 24th. Once there, you will use an online survey (via your smart phone/tablet) or paper survey to record what seafood species are available in the case as well as information such as where they are from, the product form, and price. Once you are done, you will send Eating with the Ecosystem your data and they will analyze it and produce a report to share. 🐟 As a thank you for your time and effort, Eating with the Ecosystem will be raffling off three copies of their new cookbook, Simmering the Sea and three Eating with the Ecosystem t-shirts to Seafood Market Blitz participants! By visiting your assigned market and sending in your data, your name will automatically be entered into the raffle for each market you visit! 🦞 Sign up to participate in the Seafood Market Blitz by Sunday March 3rd by visiting https://www.eatingwiththeecosystem.org/market-blitz. 🦑 If you have any questions, please contact Kate Masury at kate@eatingwiththeecosystem.org. . . . #newenglandseafood #eatingwiththeec
 

ABOUT US

Welcome,

Our Wicked Fish strives to help New England consumers, especially those in Massachusetts, become more knowledgeable about their local seafood options. In doing so, we want to generate a more sustainable and localized seafood industry in New England.

Did you know that over 90% of all seafood consumed in the U.S. is imported?

Even though New England is seen as a seafood destination the majority of seafood offered in restaurants and grocery stores is imported. Over-supporting imported seafood while making local catch difficult to find has impacted our fishermen, fishery, economy, carbon footprint, and the consumer!

Let's change this, New England!

Let Our Wicked Fish introduce you to delicious local fish like dogfish, bluefish and skate. Additionally, we also want you to meet the fishermen and organizations who are working hard to bring local fish back to our menus and grocery stores. 

After all, some of the best seafood comes from New England, and it is made possible by the people in your community who are passionate about our wicked fish.
