Sourcing, Cooking and Eating Local: Fishbar in Montauk, NY

Posted September 2, 2009 by Lenn Thompson in News & Events

I came across this video this morning and really liked it. Thought I'd share…

A story for true seafood lovers…

You need more than two hands to count the number of seafood restaurants and shacks out in Eastern Long Island, but only one to tally the number of places who actually buy their seafood straight from the captains of local boats.

Meet Chef Jennifer Meadows of Fishbar, a new local seafood restaurant in Montauk, who begged her way onto the boats of local commercial fishermen to guarantee her fish was as fresh and as local as possible. Supporting sustainable seafood harvesters in her little fishing village is a mission she sees no other way, and her story hopes to inspire more restaurants to do the same…

    Now who wouldn’t want to eat at a place like that with a chef that dedicated!

    Actually the locals describe Montauk as a “a little drinking village with a fishing problem.”

    One Wolffer and two Duck Walk wines on the wine list. They could get a little more fresh and local in that regard. Good video as it got me hungry for dinner and it is 6AM at the moment.

    Peter, we’re gonna work on that. I emailed Jennifer yesterday and I’m hoping to help her out.
