It's a unique program lead by Oregon Sea Grant experts that helps connect consumers with fishing boats and their freshly-caught bounty. The programs teach the average Joe how to deal with boats on the docks, showing them what's in season, what is sustainable, and how to obtain the best quality of fish and shellfish. Participants learn about the local boats and they even get recipes for stellar seafood dishes.
