Frequently Asked Questions
Q. WHAT IS THE SHARE SIZE AND COST?
A. This is a buy-down system where you decide how much seafood you will eat during the 3-month season and then pay upfront. Our minimum membership payment for the Spring Season is $100 (about $8/week). You decide how much you want to spend per week and what species you’ll eat. Just make sure to spend it all by the end of the season.
Q. WHAT ARE THE MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS FOR THE SPRING SEASON?
A. As a Community Coop Member you'll receive priority access to all of our local catch via our website plus your own unique member's page where you can track your purchases, balance, and pickup location. You'll get a members-only invite to our in-house seafood cooking demos where you'll get to meet and talk with some of our fishermen. You'll also receive discounts on our merchandise, unique and locally inspired recipes, our weekly newsletter with more in-depth member-only content, plus an invitation to our annual Chatham Harvesters Local Seafood Fest.
Q. DO YOU EVER SOURCE FROM FISHERMEN OFF-CAPE OR ELSEWHERE?
A. No, we only source from our co-op family of Cape Cod fishermen. We're all independent, owner-operator, family fishermen who live and work on Cape Cod. We want to get to know you and you to know us. We guarantee full traceability back to our boats.
Q. IS THE FISH FRESH OR FROZEN?
A. All our website seafood products for the Spring Season will be freshly-frozen, which means freezing at peak freshness through a state-of-the-art method that suspends the seafood in its most flavorful and nutritious state. If you thaw your seafood correctly, it will be just as nutritious and delicious as the day it was caught. We are also starting this Spring a members-only "Fresh Off the Boat" text alert for opportunities to get more fresh fish.
FreshCatch Alerts
NEW
Based upon Member feedback, we know you're craving more of that off-the-boat experience in getting the freshest fish possible. That's why we're excited to offer you FreshCatch Alerts.
Exclusive to Fish Share members, you can opt to join FreshCatch Alerts and we will text you a couple of times per month after landing fish directly off our boats. You just drive to our Seafood Facility in Chatham and choose from the freshest fish anywhere on Cape Cod.

THE PURPOSE OF OUR COMMUNITY SEAFOOD
COOPERATIVE MEMBERSHIP
Our Fish Share membership program aims to promote a positive relationship between fishermen, consumers, and the ocean by providing highest-quality, locally caught seafood to members in a way that helps support a thriving fishing community. Inspired by the community-supported fishery (CSF) and community-supported agriculture (CSA) movements, these models help share the risk of food production through pre-payment methods while also strengthening relationships to food producers. The first CSF on Cape Cod was started in Chatham in 2006, and similar CSF programs have since been started across the United States with support from the amazing Local Catch Network.
SOME FEEDBACK FROM OUR MEMBERS
%20(25).png)
You might, on occasion, be earnestly moved by the deeper connection you feel toward the ocean and the fishermen who willingly risk their lives to feed you. You may also experience a growing sense of adventure when eating seafood and delight in your ability to distinguish quality seafood from some of the other stuff that's out there. None of this is guaranteed, but more than a few folks have echoed these sentiments.
