Craving seafood? Check out Westport’s Fresh Catch
The signs are everywhere as you drive into town, everything from oyster farms to fishing vessels offering up the ocean’s bounty with handmade, roadside advertisements. Westport on Washington’s coast is the place to find a fresh catch. So, the 9th largest commercial seaport in the nation went to work to put some of their bounty directly into the hands of visitors, one fish at a time. Westport’s Fresh Catch is a program that uses its website and a huge dockside sign to show visitors what’s in season – and exactly where to find it when they come to town. For example, craving fresh caught tuna? The sign will guide you to what month it’s generally available (July, August, September and October) and then to the fishing vessel Jetstream on float number 7. This is where Richard Toal sells tuna that he just caught, right off his boat. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 08:25
