As we all hunker down for some stormy Cape Cod weather, here’s a fun story to take your mind off things…

Have you ever eaten scup raw? 🐟

Last week we joined our friends at WCAI Radio Station to slice up some Harvesters-caught scup and eat it sashimi-style, right there at the Farmers Market.

And you know what? It was good. Like crazy good!

Sweet, clean, — and naturally flavored with the freshest ocean brine (think oysters) imagineable.

Who knew?!

Check out the story (and listen along) here 👇

Texture-wise, the fish was phenomenal. There was no “fishiness” at all. It had a delicate sweetness, like what you get at a sushi restaurant. It left a little aftertaste of ocean brine, like you walked into a seafood shop.

How cool is this? 🐟

Our monkfish is being served at Chatham and Harwich Elementary Schools today!

When we were growing up, the fish served in our Cape Cod schools was never local. It came from far away and, let's be honest, it was usually the least cool thing in the cafeteria.

But we're changing that.

Keeping healthy, locally abundant fish local — and getting it onto the plates of kids right here in our own community. Including many of our own kids!

Local fishermen. Local fish. Local kids.

Win. Win. Win. 💙

Why did we start a fishermen seafood co-op?

At its core, Chatham Harvesters was created around a pretty simple idea: the abundant seafood caught here on Cape Cod should have a better chance of staying here—and the fishermen catching it should have a stronger connection to the people eating it.

This short film takes a look inside our co-op, from the boats and the catch to our processing room and the people behind it.

We're trying to build a seafood system that's more direct, more transparent, and more rooted in our community—one where fishermen are paid fairly, local families have access to exceptional Cape Cod seafood, and more of the value of our catch stays close to home.

A huge thank you to Cod News and Teresa Martin for spending time with us and helping tell the story.

🐟 From our co-op fishermen to you
