South Shore Seafood Exchange
South Shore Seafood Exchange is a nonprofit, community-supported fishery in Scituate, Massachusetts, that provides fresh fish from the local fishermen from our local waters. Our goals are two-fold: to re-establish a link between the local fishermen and the surrounding communities and to allow local restaurants and residents access to this freshly caught native resource. Our fresh fish is caught, cleaned, fileted and distributed in biodegradable zip lock bags in Scituate Harbor. Our fish never leaves Scituate! No carbon footprint!

Supporting Local Catch
We sell filleted fish to individuals, families, and restaurants.
In addition to weekly pickups at the Roman Table in Scituate Harbor we are offering pick up at Holly Hill Farm, Cohasset. Delivery Service is also available. We are working out the kinks now and will be ready for our May season. Do you have an idea for another satellite fish distribution location? Please send an email to Members@Sossexi.org.

Background
Our community has been involved in fishing for hundreds of years. After talking with local fishermen, who have more than 50 years of experience, we wanted to offer a place for fishermen and local residents to connect and purchase locally caught fish.
