What are groundfish?
In commercial fishery jargon, the fish we’ve been delivering are primarily considered groundfish. These fish swim on our near the bottom of the seafloor–the ground to fishermen. Technically, there are 19 species that make up the groundfish in the Gulf of Maine. For the most part the groundfish we deliver wiil be cod, haddock, pollock, hake, and the flatfishes like yelllowtail flounder and grey sole, e.g. (except halibut).
