Our small boat fishers' knowledge of the inshore fishery has been passed across generations for the past 400 years. For our cod catch, we work with a small number of people who fish daily using methods of one hook, one fish that results in a higher-quality product, with minimal bycatch. For the other fish and shellfish products we offer, we work collaboratively with the fishers of the Fogo Island Co-operative Society Ltd. – created by fishers from these parts, in the late 1960s, to take control of their own destiny and face challenges posed by industrialized ships from overseas overfishing in local waters.
