Today I found a really interesting website called 'Off the Hook'. It is a group of people based in Nova Scotia who have taken initiative to create a Community Supported Fishery. If you live in Halifax you can invest in a share of the 'Off the Hook' catch to help support to local fishers, coastal communities, and a low-impact fishing method. The money that you pay goes directly to the fishing co-op, which pays the fishers a fair price for their catch. And in exchange you receive fresh sustainably caught fish each week for 8 weeks!
To learn more about Off the Hook, or to sign up to get your share for the fall season check out their website at: http://www.offthehookcsf.ca
