Small Boats, Big Taste

Great Seafood for Great Causes

When COVID struck, small-boat, independent fishermen faced serious challenges. So did many people in our communities who weren’t sure how they could continue feeding their families.

Small Boats, Big Taste was our creative response.

Working with fishermen, fish processors, and a chowder maker all located in Massachusetts, we created Haddock Chowder and Provençal Fish Stew- made with local skate- using the best ingredients, fast-frozen to ensure highest quality.

With support from donors, foundations, grants, our community, The Greater Boston Food Bank, Barnstable County Cooperative Extension, CapeAbilities, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ food assistance programs, we send Small Boats, Big Taste products to food banks and pantries across the state. That includes food banks on Cape Cod, as well as local organizations that feed and support people facing food insecurity like the Family Table, Cape Wellness, Helping Our Women, St. David’s Episcopal Church and Cape Cod Veterans.

In the first two and half years, we distributed more than 1.6 million servings of chowder and stew. That’s a lot of food to a lot of people, and we’ve won unanimous praise for the superb quality of what we make and share.

Now we want to share with you and build even more support for this inspiring effort.

Please buy some hearty, healthy chowder or stew!

The containers are quick and easy to heat and serve, loaded with fish and high-quality ingredients, never any preservatives.

They also make wonderful gifts for friends and family.

Every purchase helps keep the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance strong, expands our deliveries of delicious, nutritious seafood to the community, and helps small-boat, independent fishermen do what they do best: fish!
