Study by Oceana Says One-Third of Fish is Mislabeled

John Edward Cochran — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:49:23 +0000

A study by Oceana indicates a substantial portion of fish is mislabeled. Their suggestion: establish relationships with your fish vendor. At C’ville CSF, we support local fish farmers in southern Virginia, who come to the Farmers’ Market to meet you directly and guarantee the quality – and labeling – of our fish.

For more information on the study, the New York Times offers a helpful video and article. Here’s a link directly to Oceana.

We would like to announce for the summer of 2012, there will be two ways to order shares of fish from Cville CSF! In addition to being at the Charlottesville City Market where we have been for the past two years, we are partnering with Bellair Farm this summer, as well! We now provide the option for Bellair members to pick up fish in conjunction with their CSA shares starting June 2. Our summer season at the City Market will begin June 30. We are very excited about the opportunity to join Bellair Farm and hope that you’ll consider having local fish and greens together!
