A Scallop’s Journey

A Georges Bank Scallops Journey:  From Ocean to Table

Chicago and Naperville are located in the middle of the United States so when you eat at Catch 35, Fresh Seafood & Premium Steaks, you might be wondering how did that fresh seafood get here? That’s a great question and we at Catch 35 will answer that for you.   This will be the first of a series of blogs where we will take a closer look at where Catch 35 gets our fresh seafood:

How is that fresh seafood transported to Chicago/Naperville?
And then what happens to that ocean delicacy when it gets to the restaurant?

Our first journey will be of the Georges Bank Scallop.  Our chef Eddie Sweeney had the opportunity to travel to Boston to see how these sweet succulent crustaceans are fished, packed, and transported.  Here are some pictures of the Georges Bank Scallop being fished. Catch 35 entrusts Boston’s Foley fish to deliver Chicagoans and Naperville residents the sweet tender George’s Bank Scallop!

Foley Fish takes fishery management very seriously participating on both the National Marine Fisheries Northeast Groundfish Advisory Panel and the Highly Migratory Species Panel. Foley Fish purchases fish 100% in compliance with fishery management regulations. Foley Fish is an all natural processor.

New England fish stock status:  Sea Scallops are very abundant and no overfishing is occurring.

A very important job that may at times be easily overlooked is the shipping of the Sea scallops to Catch 35 in Chicago/Naperville.  To ensure the freshest possible product, our scallops are flown in daily!
