Our Mission Ocean State Fresh was established in 2010 with the specific goals of connecting Rhode Island's fishermen with local consumers, ensuring that fresh and local seafood stays fresh and local, supporting the local fishing industry and promoting sustainable seafood. Ocean State Fresh is accomplishing these goals through the conception of a Community Supported Fishery program in Rhode Island and through the creation of the first statewide brand-name open to all of those in Rhode Island's fishing industry. Greetings! Here is what's going on this week! This Week's CSF Delivery!  This week's CSF delivery will feature Monkfish, a.k.a. Anglerfish, Frogfish, Goosefish or Sea Devil. According to FishWatch, Monkfish is harvested at sustainable levels and the stock is considered healthy. If you have not had Monkfish before, it is quite delicious. It has a taste profile similar to lobster and can be prepared in many ways. We have provided some Monkfish recipes below for inspiration. If you are not part of the CSF or would like to purchase an additional pound of Monkfish, please click the link below.

After a successful launch in Newport, people are asking us to expand and we want to! We purchased a brand new refrigerated van that allows us to be more mobile. As a result we can access any part of Rhode Island. If you live outside of the Newport area and want to be part of our CSF, please contact us. We will be happy to come to you!

  We Swipe For A Cause! Since we are all about helping the Ocean State, we want to be as local as possible. Instead of working with a nameless, out-of-state credit card processor we have teamed up with Swipe For A Cause. Swipe For A Cause is a local credit card processor that donates 50% of its profits to charity. Specifically, they use their profits to bring residential hospice to Rhode Island. If you didn't already know, Rhode Island is the only state in the United States that does not have residential hospice. If you wish to support Swipe For A Cause, please place your orders via e-mail and pay at pick-up. Please Help Us Spread The News About Ocean State Fresh... OSF (a non-profit organization) is Rhode Island's premier Community Supported Fishery Program and the first attempt to brand Rhode Island's seafood for the benefit of Rhode Island's fishermen and seafood industry. Please help us spread the word and forward this email to your family and friends by clicking . We would be extremely appreciative if you let a seafood enthusiast, a Rhode Island commercial fisherman or a seafood retailer, restaurant, chef, etc. know about Ocean State Fresh. If you would like us to offer our seafood near you, please let us know by contacting us here! We really appreciate your interest in Ocean State Fresh and hope you stay part of our email list. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us. Sincerely,
