Everything on the board comes off boats that leave and return the same day. We do not buy from anything that stays out for a week - it changes how the fish tastes and it makes the "fresh" label meaningless.
We buy from six boats we know by name, and we post which boat brought in which species on the board each morning. If a species is being overfished that season, it does not go on the board, even if a boat offers it to us.
Shellfish comes from tended beds we can name and visit, not open-water draggers. Ask the counter which bed today’s clams came from - we always know.
