Deliciously Local
Cape Cod has a rich bounty of delicious seafood, caught and harvested by our local fleet of small-boat fishermen. We encourage you to try a new way of enjoying an old favorite or to be adventurous with some of the “underloved” species that are abundant in our waters.
Funding from the Massachusetts Seafood Marketing Program allowed us to partner with Buy Fresh Buy Local Cape Cod to create a series of short, fun cooking videos featuring local seafood from Cape Cod fishermen.
Written Recipes
Funding for this program is provided in part by grants from Cultural Councils in the towns of Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Harwich, Orleans, Sandwich, Truro and Wellfleet, and by the Dennis Arts and Cultural Council and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council, local agencies supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
