Boston Brings Day-Boat Fish To Farmers Markets

The City of Boston announced Wednesday that it has begun a pilot program to put locally caught, day-boat fish at city farmers markets.

“For the first time since the original Faneuil Hall Market Place closed its doors in the mid-1900s, Boston residents, workers, and visitors will be able to purchase fresh, healthy day-boat fish in a vibrant urban market setting,” Mayor Thomas Menino said in a news release.

The release adds: "While Massachusetts has one of the largest seafood industries in the United States, retail access to day-boat fish is largely non-existent."
