So you put on an order in addition to your share? Can product be ordered w/o a share or only as an add on?
in an email, Nic from Sitka Salmon Shares wrote: You’ll also notice a new format for our Community-Supported Fishery. Moving forward, we’ll be shifting away from guaranteed poundage and species mixes. For us to promise these would endanger many of the benefits at the core of our system--healthier oceans, fairer working conditions for small boat family fishermen, and tastier fish. As 2018 taught us, even the best management and science can’t always predict when and where wild fish will return. Pushing our fishermen to harvest fish that just aren’t there, or, worse, having to consider a purchase from an untrusted supplier in order to fill an order just doesn’t sit right with us. Instead of promising guaranteed poundage, we're moving to a poundage window that includes projected species. What we are now promising is that if for whatever reason you aren't happy with your box, just give us an email and we'll be happy to refund it or replace it with whatever you'd like that we do catch.
