So we have formed this alliance, essentially a network. They basically oversee all of our environmental best practices and we use NOAA’s Fish Watch program, which is a very trustworthy, science-based sustainability rating system to ensure all the species that we feature and the gear types are all advocated as the most sustainable methods and the most sustainable species.
We work really closely with NOAA and with the Concerned Citizens of Montauk. It’s same-day sourced sustainable seafood. We launched the first restaurant-supported fishery in North America so we have two divisions of the company that keep us really, really busy. We took a community-supported agriculture mode and applied that to local fisheries here and then took that membership model from community-supported fisheries and just bumped it up a level to have a division with high-volume, forward-thinking restaurants.
And we’ve launched the first restaurant-supported fishery in North America. Tell me about what Dock to Dish does.ĭock to Dish is a community-supported fishery based out of Montauk, New York. Bonus: he also shares a rare glimpse into the underground world of open-ocean spearfishermen. Sean spoke with us recently about the childhood origins of Dock to Dish and the future of community supported fisheries. That alone is impressive, but the company has gone a creative step further and established the first Restaurant Supported Fishery in the US, providing chefs on Long Island and in New York City with some of the freshest fish they could hope to cook. Dock to Dish is Long Island’s first Community Supported Fishery, where members sign up for a season’s worth of local, seasonal and sustainable seafood.
In that short time, Sean Barrett’s Dock to Dish has made it possible for a growing number of seafood lovers to reestablish their bond with fishermen, and opened up local markets to area fishermen. It’s been just over a year after since the first deliveries of fresh-caught, local fish started making their way to eastern Long Island locals and restaurants.
