Buy Local!
With today's rising popularity and demand for seafood, as well as the numerous choices available to consumers, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find local retailers that sell Maryland seafood. Because there is nothing like the taste or quality of genuine Maryland seafood. The Maryland Department of Agriculture would like to inform the public which retailers sell crabs, rockfish, oysters, and other species harvested in the state of Maryland.
The Seafood Marketing Program has launched the "Buy Local" campaign to inform consumers of the advantages that stem from choosing local seafood, as well as where and when it is available. Simply look for the distinct "Buy Local" window decals and ice picks at your local retailer to see if they sell delicious Maryland seafood.
Purchasing Maryland Seafood stimulates the local economy by supporting local watermen, aqua farmers, processors, and countless others involved with the Maryland seafood industry. You are also helping to preserve the culture and heritage that has long been a staple of Mariand and the Chesapeake Bay.
Seafood that is processed in other areas of the country and world must be shipped long distances in order to reach our plates. This requires large amounts of fuel, which in turn release many pollutants into the air that are harmful to the environment. Seafood that is harvested or raised in Maryland spends far less time in transit, giving consumers a product you receive is fresher and safer than the competition. There are simply too many benefits to ignore when it comes to Maryland seafood, so be sure to make the right decision next time you are standing at your neighborhood seafood counter. Choose smart. Choose fresh. Choose Maryland!
