April 12, 2019 — Fishermen on the Seacoast are catering to customers who want to trace where their seafood is coming from.
“Localvores and foodies really want to know where their food is coming from. They want to know, ‘What is the origin of this seafood?’” Andrea Tomlinson said.
Tomlinson, manager of New Hampshire Community Seafood in Portsmouth, said traceability of seafood is a value-added product because it is estimated that 30 to 70 percent of what is sold in a retail environment is mislabeled either intentionally or accidentally.
