THE ELECTION and EDUCATION Fishing education, that is!

We have a rather important election coming up in November! If this statement is surprising to you, we’ll assume you just woke up after a very long sleep! We’ll be voting for President/Vice President, Governor, Lt. Governor, a US Senator, US Congress, NC Supreme Court Chief Justice & 2 Associate Justices, Council of State, all members of the North Carolina Senate and House and some other local races. In some of those contests things could remain the same but with others we know there will be some changes due to current office holders deciding not to run again. Some of those who are not running again decided months ago so their names will not be on the ballot, while others decided recently and it may be too late for their name to be removed.

There have been some deaths of General Assembly members since the last election. In addition, quite a few others have decided not to return so there are several open seats. Regardless of who wins in those seats the winner will be new to the Senate or House.

The time between the November election and when the General Assembly convenes for the long session will be a very busy one for NCFA. That’s when we revise the contact list for the Senate and House in preparation for the upcoming session. At the very least a letter and/or phone call to those newly elected will be made and eventually a personal visit when possible.

We’ve already been warned that the “Let Them Spawn” bill will be introduced again and the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and others have been working on an effort to combine Marine Fisheries with Wildlife Resources.

For those of you who have been involved in commercial fishing all your lives, it may be hard to understand that there are those who don’t have the slightest clue about what you do. You may think it’s only those who are elected from inland that are clueless. That would be an incorrect assumption! Sure, there are some legislators who are fairly well versed in the issues, but most are not. Allow me to mention another incorrect assumption. That’s when legislators from the west think all coastal elected officials know more than they do about coastal issues, specifically about how a commercial fisherman feeds his/her family. There’s nothing wrong with any of this as nobody can be expected to know everything about their district. The point here is the burden we have to educate, not just those from the west but our coastal folks as well.

Even those who know fishing issues well within their own district may not know much about what the issues are in other coastal counties.

Looking at it another way, coastal folks probably won’t know much about the issues facing dairy farmers, yet they may be voting on legislation that will affect those folks. Bottom line is, it ain’t easy and the learning curve is high for all of them. Dairy farmers rightfully expect legislators to know their issues before voting on any bill that will affect their way of life. That’s a particular burden on coastal and other legislators who know little or nothing about dairy. Likewise, it’s incumbent upon legislators to know fishing issues before voting on a bill that affects commercial fishing families. That puts the burden, or responsibility, on us to educate. We know all fishing, whether it be commercial, for-hire or recreational, is vitally important to our state. If any part of it disintegrates, so goes the coastal economy.

Education, Education, Education!

Whether the issue is dairy farming or commercial fishing, there’s a lot of educating to be done. It’s not just an issue that’s important to those who make their living in those occupations, but critically vital in the minds of consumers!

Tradewinds is a bi-monthly publication owned and published by North Carolina Fisheries

Association, Inc. (NCFA). The North Carolina Fisheries Association is a non-profit organization based on Families, Heritage, and Seafood.

Commercial fishermen established the North Carolina Fisheries Association, Inc. in 1952 to serve fishing families by protecting their heritage and promoting seafood.

Over six decades later, NCFA still believes the commercial fishing industry begins and ends with families – from those who harvest seafood to those who help supply the industries needs and to those who enjoy the harvest. We are committed to presenting an accurate portrait of the industry and the people who sustain it.

Currents How to Freeze Your Fresh North Carolina Seafood

BY VANDA LEWIS AND BARRY NASH Seafood is an excellent source of flavorful, nutritious protein any time of the year. If you’re limiting shopping trips during the COVID-19 pandemic, consider freezing some of your fresh seafood purchases for later enjoyment.

“I often use fresh North Carolina seafood immediately to test recipes for our Mariner’s Menu blog, but I also freeze some that same day to test more recipes later,” says North Carolina Sea Grant’s Vanda Lewis.

FINFISH Fish have varying amounts of fat content, depending on the species. The leanest fish, such as flounder, have a white- or light-colored flesh, while fattier fish, such as salmon or mackerel, usually have a darker hue.

The list below shows the average total fat content in a three-ounce serving of common finfish: High Fat (10 grams or greater) Herring, mackerel, salmon (Atlantic, coho, sockeye, chinook) Medium Fat (5 to 10 grams)

SHELLFISH

north carolina fisheries association 37

Clams and oysters are best if frozen in their shells, which makes them easier to shuck with no loss of juice. Thoroughly wash the shells and place live shellfish in moisture vapor-resistant bags if you have

it from becoming stringy.

NEW RECIPES Many consumers love seafood, but they tend to enjoy it at restaurants.

North Carolina Sea Grant’s research shows that consumers would purchase more local seafood to eat at home if they were confident in their cooking skills. Survey respondents indicated that recipes would enrich their experience cooking with fresh seafood at home.

To that end, Sea Grant has been adding new recipes online to MarinersMenu.org. You can now choose from more than 200 recipes, including appetizers and entrees that feature crab, clams, finfish, oysters, scallops, and shrimp.

☐

Half-percent contributors pay dues based on gross stock of their catch allowing fishermen to pay dues based on a small percentage of their profit. For example, for $1,000 in stock you would pay $5. Participating fish houses deduct the ½%, match it and send it to NCFA. Fishermen and boat owners may contribute a ½% dues without a matching contribution and fish houses may contribute with only a few fishermen.
