Know Your F.I.S.H.erman Opening Reception

  • Foghorn Building 2000 NY-27 Montauk, NY 11954 USA (map)

The 2017 Montauk Oceans Institute exhibit will be focusing on the concept of getting to Know Your Fisherman.  The show will have a expert mix of science and art about local seafood sources with facts and figures provided by F.I.S.H.

Additionally, we're teamed up with Cornell Cooperative Extension whom recently received a grant from the New York Farm Viability Institute to launch a new marketing and education campaign focused on promoting Long Island seafood as local “F.I.S.H." -Fresh. Indigenous. Sustainable. Healthy.  The program aims to increase interest, awareness and demand for locally harvested, wild-caught and grown seafood while creating alternative markets and distribution points for Long Island seafood through Community Supported Fishery (CSF) programs.

We hope that our visitors walk away from the exhibit with a better understanding behind the legacy of the Montauk Commercial Fishing Industry and a great respect for the various fish species that call Long Island waters their home.
