Did you know you can get super fresh, sustainable fish in Red Hook? Realty Collective hosts the Mermaid’s Garden Fish Share every Saturday from 10 am -12 pm.
The Fish Share connects consumers to fishermen and offers higher quality, value and transparency than traditional retail models. Participants commit to a four week cycle, during which they receive weekly shares of fresh fish. For more information on the Share, visit the Mermaid’s Garden website.
Now Ends Meat NYC may be coming coming to Red Hook as well! They just need enough people interested to sign up for the Red Hook pick-up to make this happen. Read more about this meat club below and email them here if you are interested!
