OUR STORY

Icon of white waves.

Observing the hardships of fishermen and the declining value of fish prompted our action through this initiative. Our aim is straightforward:

  • Ensure fresh, locally caught fish is accessible to all

  • Revitalizing its worth and affordability

While imports from places like Iceland, Norway, or China dominate, we firmly believe in the quality of local catches. Highlighting the intricacies of catching and preserving fish, we emphasize traceability and flavor, striving to educate consumers about their food's origins. Despite companies favoring cheaper imports due to concerns about waste and transportation, we champion local fish as a sustainable choice, benefiting both taste and the environment. By dispelling stereotypes about fishermen and curating menus, we empower our community, fostering a deeper connection to the abundant seafood heritage of the South Shore.

Get Involved

There are several ways to become an integral part of Local Catch 143's mission. Your involvement fuels our commitment to preserving oceans, supporting communities, and celebrating the heritage of South Shore's abundant seafood. Join us in making a difference - every contribution counts!

TRACEABILITY

At Local Catch 143, we prioritize traceability as a cornerstone of our dedication to quality and transparency, ensuring consumers are fully informed about their food's origins. Our locally sourced fish, never frozen, underscores our commitment to freshness while reducing the environmental impact of lengthy transportation. This focus on sea-to-table freshness allows every bite to capture the essence of our coastal waters, delivering an unmatched experience. By emphasizing traceability, we proudly provide our customers with an authentic, sustainable, and delightful seafood journey that embodies true local sourcing in every aspect.
