A Shellfishing Legacy

What’s the Catch of the Day on Jen’s Dish?

Fresh from the local Narragansett Bay waters; the “Catch” was a visit with  Andrade’s Catch on Jen’s Dish Radio on a chilly Saturday in February 2020.  My guests were Davy Andrade; 3rd generation shell fisherman and his lovely fiancé Victoria Young.  The Andrade's believe wild shellfish(vs. farmed) is the only shellfish to eat and they should know, they have been harvesting wild shellfish out of Narragansett Bay and surrounding waters for generations.  They use sustainable harvesting methods to bring the shellfish to you, the consumer. Whether that is to sell in their own shop in Bristol, RI, or to restaurants around New England and beyond. It was a tasty visit and I know you will be inspired to seek out more local clams and cook them up on a regular basis. I was also moved by their legacy, passion for shellfishing and their values. Davey ad his family were raised on the water. They were taught to respect Mother Nature and the bounty she provides for us. Their family doesn't just sell seafood: They  catch it, deliver it, eat it and most importantly, they form relationships around it. Take a listen!
