Otolith Sustainable Seafood relocates, launches community-supported seafood program

Otolith Sustainable Seafood, which opened at 143 W. Girard Avenue last summer, recently relocated to 2133 E. Huntingdon Street. Though Amanda Bossard and her husband Murat Aritan planned on opening a sit-down seafood restaurant next door to their retail/wholesale hub, that approach lost its feasibility due to the economy, so they're now focusing on supplying restaurants and walk-in customers via their newer, slightly smaller space. They'll be open for business (temporary hours: Thu.-Sat., 3-6 p.m.) while they renovate; list of their current products after the jump.

Otolith Sustainable Seafood, which opened at 143 W. Girard Avenue last summer, recently relocated to 2133 E. Huntingdon Street. Though Amanda Bossard and her husband Murat Aritan planned on opening a sit-down seafood restaurant next door to their retail/wholesale hub, that approach lost its feasibility due to the economy, so they're now focusing on supplying restaurants and walk-in customers via their newer, slightly smaller space. They'll be open for business (temporary hours: Thu.-Sat., 3-6 p.m.) while they renovate; list of their current products after the jump.

In late June, Otolith launched a CSS (community-supported seafood) program � just like a CSA, but for fish. For the first go-round, they're offering three five-pound deliveries of fresh-caught Alaskan sustainable salmon (king, coho, sockeye and pink varieties). Shares cost $180, which works out to $12 per pound of fish all told. The deadline to sign up is Aug. 2; more info on the CSS on Otolith's Web site. Come fall, Bossard says, they plan on instituting another CSS program offering halibut, sablefish and rockfish.

  • Rockfish
  • Pacific Cod
  • Sockeye Salmon
  • Dungeness crab
  • Sweet Pink Shrimp
  • Smoked Keta strips
  • Smoked Sockeye, �Squaw Candy�
  • Sablefish, �Blackcod�
  • Smoked Blackcod
  • Nova Lox
