';local'; seafood

So what seafood is truly ';local'; ? Suggestions for fresh, local seafood ?

';local'; seafood

We can get into arguments about what%26#39;s ';truly'; local. Is Maine lobster ';truly'; local? How about a haddock from the North Atlantic near Canada? And you know a salmon can%26#39;t be from Chelsea. Just enjoy whatever kind you like.

How about the Wellfleet Oysters at the Bookstore Rest. or better yet at www.thebeachcomber.com.

Also get these and Dennis oysters at Oyster Co. in Dennisport.

Striped Bass in season, yum.

I guess %26#39;truly%26#39; local could be defined as what%26#39;s being taken off the boats on the Cape. From reading, I would guess that cod, striped bass, and scallops would qualify.

psst... sole and cod are not the same fishes; they%26#39;re even in different ';families';, i.e., not of the same genus. I like cod better: more ';sprightly'; taste and texture imo. Sadly, it%26#39;s one of the worst choices you can make, from an ecological -- not taste -- viewpoint.

Bluefish and tuna are other fishes typically found in the waters around Cape Cod, but their consumption is not without concerns:

LOL! I couldn%26#39;t have been More wrong!! sorry about that...brain blip. I do apologize!

I have to say, though, I love flounder, sole, cod, swordfish,etc. etc. What to do...

I share your pain! I love cod -- and shark :-(

is mahi mahi a shark? love that too. flounder and sole are relatives, aren%26#39;t they? i%26#39;ve caught enough cod to know the difference between the 3 fishes...my family has been teasing me all morning about my gaff. They love it when I make a mistake. (doesn%26#39;t happen that often, ;).

mahi mahi is definitely not shark; it%26#39;s what may also be called dolphin (not the flipper type). It%26#39;s caught in warmer waters, Florida, Hawaii (that%26#39;s the mahi mhai reference. I%26#39;ve had shark; pretty tasty; very firm flesh, almost like a pork roast. A would imagine sole and flounder are close; both have that %26#39;one-sided%26#39; look. It sounds like cod and tuna are what really come off the local boats. Looking forward to some tasty meals.
