Boat to Table?
Be proud!

Stonington Fresh showcases our local seafoods and the hardworking men and women who harvest them. If you buy, prepare and serve locally caught and processed seafoods, you already know why they're good. We'd like to help you share the word with your customers, and help you make "boat to table" a matter of real local pride!

That’s why we’re offering you these free promotional items:

  • Window/door decals

  • Front desk display cards, wall art

  • Menu, certification and website graphics

  • Co-branded merchandise sales opportunities

  • We'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions!

share the love.

Stonington Fresh EATS! is our new social media component for showing and sharing your best local seafood dishes and, if you want, the recipes too.

EATS! is a facebook group of dedicated local fish fans, pescatarians, restaurant lovers and cooks. We are all about sharing the best local seafood recipes we know, and celebrating the restaurants we love.

what is certification?

Our "certification program" runs on pride and trust. We provide restaurants and seafood retailers who love our fresh-off-the boat-catches with display and menu markers they can use exclusively for local Stonington Fresh catch. We encourage restaurants and retailers to highlight Stonington Fresh offerings to their customers. This can be as easy as "Ask Your Server."

"Certified Stonington Fresh" means wild-caught finfish, molluscan and crustacean shellfish landed at Stonington Town Dock. Independent sea vegetable and shellfish aquaculturists and harvesters who work waters within 25 NM of Stonington are also eligible. "Certified Stonington Fresh" does not imply any regulatory oversite or certification from any governmental agency or health department.

You can "Self Certify" by creating an on-brand certificate to fit your style and show your commitment! Examples and graphic files are included.
