Discover Ag On The Road: Red Snapper Ep 5 🎣 Inside Florida's Red Snapper Fishery

About this episode

The episode explores the red snapper fishery in Florida, detailing the fishing process and seafood distribution.

In episode 5 of Discover Ag: On The Road, we head offshore to discover RED SNAPPER with Captain Steve. In this episode, we step onboard to follow the full process, from heading out offshore to seeing how fishermen locate, catch, sort, and bring in red snapper during the season. After our time out on the water, we also visit Local Foods to see what happens next once the fish are brought back to shore. As a Florida-based seafood and specialty distributor, Local Foods works with fresh seafood coming in daily and helps connect that catch to restaurants and consumers across the region. From unloading and sorting to processing and preparing the fish, this part of the industry plays a major role in getting seafood from the boat to the plate. It's a side of the seafood supply chain most people never get to see, but one that keeps the entire system moving. What you'll discover: • How red snapper are commercially harvested • What a real day offshore looks like • How fishermen work the lines and manage the catch • What happens after the fish make it back to shore • How seafood is processed and distributed to restaurants and consumers Special thanks to Turtle Box for Sponsoring This Episode…
