For decades, fish at school mostly meant one thing: breaded fingers and

patties–tasty enough with ketchup, but completely detached from their

natural origins. That’s beginning to change in regions with access to

local fisheries and processors. There’s keen interest in New England

districts with strong local procurement programs and cultural affinity

for seafood. Learn how a New Bedford processor is creating new

opportunities for the sustainably managed Gulf of Maine fishery, with

fresh-frozen products for K-12 that are affordable, kid-friendly, and

completely recognizable as fish. This program was brought to you by Cain Vineyard and Winery.
