Alice and Larry Hatch always bring a cooler filled with ice when they shop for seafood each week.
They don’t go to a supermarket or even a seafood shop. This summer they’re getting their fish – whole, with eyes staring up – directly from the fishermen who caught it.
A similar agriculture model has been around for decades; farmers sell portions of their harvest directly to people who take it home and prepare it for dinner. Now fishermen are getting in on the act, selling their fresh fish to people who pay in advance for a share of the catch.
