We know the typical wing debate is "bone-in or boneless," but have you considered the secret third option—seafood? That's right, fish can be in wings too! Settle the debate with this curried skate wing recipe from Chef Tyler Hadfield and @FishAlliance: https://t.co/QA2clERcbx

Spotlight on Seasonal & Sustainable Seafood: Haddock!

Haddock is known for being a flaky, mild whitefish that’s incredibly versatile. Imported haddock often overshadows our local catch, so it’s crucial to look for local.

We will continue to stay involved, provide feedback and submit comments to BOEM throughout this process, to ensure any wind development in our region minimizes impacts to the marine environment and can be developed in a way that ensures coexistence with our fisheries.
