How it Works

A seafood share, also known as a Community Supported Fishery (CSF) share, allows consumers to buy a "small bulk share" of seafood. Each share represents products for one season and they range in small bulk sizes. Just like Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs connect people with local produce, our seafood share connects you to the source of your food, you learn more about where your seafood comes from, and you get to enjoy delicious seafood.

Unlike traditional CSAs, our seafood share lets customers select one or more products in the size and quantity they prefer for a specific season. You'll receive all the products you've ordered for your share in the season you selected at a specified delivery; it's not a recurring monthly subscription. You can choose to buy multiple products within one season, purchase the same product across multiple seasons (if available), or select various products throughout the year. This flexible share program lets you order what you want, in the size you want, during the season(s) that suits you best.

You can either purchase all your desired products at the start of each share season or wait until closer to the delivery dates. However, popular items can sell out quickly! So, don't delay—place your order now to secure your favorites!

Because the taste and quality of our seafood truly stand out! Most of the fish we offer is caught directly by us using hook-and-line methods — a responsible and selective way to fish that results in top-tier quality. For the seafood we don’t catch ourselves, we work only with trusted partners who share our values around quality and environmental responsibility.

What sets us apart is how the fish is handled: each one is carefully gutted, gilled, and pressure-bled immediately after being caught, then cocooned on ice until it reaches town, where it’s vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen. This meticulous process means your fish will have the cleanest flavor — and you'll absolutely taste the difference.

Plus, we're proud to be Vermont locals! Being your Vermont neighbor, we're all about supporting our community. Living here also means we can reschedule a pick-up time if you ever miss one. We value honesty, transparency, and delivering responsibly caught, high-quality seafood to our fellow Vermonters (or VT visitors).

On top of that, many online seafood companies advertise "free shipping," but they often include that cost in the price per pound of the seafood. This means our pricing is significantly lower than seafood that's shipped directly to your door, which is a win for you!

While I always enjoy seeing our customers regularly, I understand that life can get busy. Our share program lets you buy in bulk, so you only need to pick up your orders during the seasons you've requested fish. This provides the flexibility and convenience of having seafood at home in your freezer without making weekly or bi-weekly trips.

Another advantage of our share program is that it allows you to lock in specific products. Many items, like specialty cuts, sablefish, halibut, lingcod, and king salmon, often sell out quickly. By ordering shares, you get first dibs on these products, ensuring availability over customers who shop at the mobile market or farmers markets.

Additionally, larger share sizes come with a reduced price per pound, offering you greater value.

Depending on the season, you might be in luck! Like a veggie farmer, we bring our seafood to Vermont after the catch—and sell it until it’s gone. Stop by our mobile market or farmers market booth to buy what’s in stock and see if you’d like to commit to a share. Check our calendar to see where our mobile seafood market will be docking or which farmers market our booth is at, and grab a pack or two while supplies last. Hurry, though - products do run out!

For fin-fish fillet portions, you can choose from 5-, 10-, or 15-pound shares, while specialty cuts of our fin-fish come in 5.5 or 6-pound shares only. Our smoked products are available in 3-, 6-, and 9-pound shares. Tinned products can be bought in quantities of 3, 6, or 12. Crab shares are offered in 2 or 3- and 4 or 6-pound options, while spot prawns (also known as Alaskan shrimp) are available in 2- and 4-pound bags.

All our fin-fish are custom processed in Petersburg, Alaska by a small team of just four or five people. This approach means each fish is cut by hand rather than by machine. While machines can produce uniform, smaller fillet portions, hand-cutting adds a personal touch and supports the local economy. It also means each fillet is unique in size, reflecting the natural variation in fish sizes. Plus, this personalized approach allows us to preserve more of the fish in each fillet, giving you the satisfaction of less waste and more fish! So, expect some variation in fillet portion sizes—it's all part of our human touch. We take pride in the care the custom processing team puts into ensuring your fillets look and taste fantastic.

Absolutely not! Whether you choose to buy just one product in just one season or multiple products in each season, it is entirely up to you. It's all about your preferences, how much you plan to consume, and your budget.

Regrettably, Squarespace doesn't offer extensive customization options for products. The "From $" displayed indicates the starting price for the smallest share amount of that product, assuming you will chose to pay only the 50% deposit. Once you click on the size/weight of the share you desire and select the pay-in-full or 50% deposit option, this "From $" will automatically adjust. Simply start clicking and selecting, and the "From" label will disappear, revealing the final price you'll pay at checkout. It's a straightforward process—just dive in and make your selections!

No, we don't operate like online seafood share companies that lock you into monthly or quarterly subscriptions. We empower you to select what you want, how much you want, and which season you want it in. If you find yourself running low or craving more, simply order again in upcoming seasons, provided the product is available.

Absolutely not! You simply need to place your order before we start delivering for each season. We usually close the share season about two weeks before our delivery schedule begins for that season. However, popular products often sell out. So, if you have a favorite product in mind, it's best to order it as soon as you can.

The size of your freezer and its current contents will determine which share sizes can fit. Our "small bulk" share sizes of 5, 10, or 15 pounds are typically suitable for a regular 5 to 10 cubic feet freezer found in refrigerator models. If you plan to get multiple shares in one season, make sure you have enough space before pickup—or perhaps enlist the help of understanding friends and family to hold onto it for you! Be careful, though, pieces might go missing. 😊

They are subject to change, but in general (In alphabetical County order) they are:

• Addison County: Middlebury

• Caledonia County: Hardwick

• Chittenden County Charlotte, Richmond, South Burlington, Westford

• Grand Isle County: South Hero (Summer and Fall only)

• Lamoille County: Stowe (in Summer, Fall & Winter) or Morrisville (in Spring)

• Orange County: Randolph

• Rutland County: Rutland

• Washington County: Montpelier, Waitsfield, Waterbury

• Windham County: Brattleboro

• Windsor County: Norwich

If you can't make it to any of the scheduled pick-up locations or times, don't worry! We're usually able to arrange an alternative meeting time or place after the regular pick-up times for the season have ended—after all, we live in VT year-round! In rare cases, you might need to wait until the next share season's delivery schedule. Rest assured, we'll keep your seafood safely stored in our freezers set to -10°F or below until we can meet.

If we need to deliver to a location off our regular route, there will be a $25 delivery fee. And if all else fails and we can't distribute your shares, we'll refund your payment in full. So, there's no risk in purchasing a share!
