When Is Seafood in Season?

Seafood is harvested in the seasons that they can be caught in the local sounds, bays, creeks, rivers and offshore ocean waters.   To see when your favorite North Carolina seafood is in season, click on the link below for the North Carolina Seafood Availability chart. 

→North Carolina Seafood Availability

Consumers seeking North Carolina seafood now have access to wallet-size reminders of their seasonal choices. Local Catch: North Carolina Seafood Availability cards highlight commercial fisheries by season, including shellfish aquaculture included in DMF marine fisheries landings. The cards also provide information on how and where North Carolina seafood is harvested.  They were compiled and published by the North Carolina Aquariums, North Carolina SeaGrant, and the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries.  Click on the images below to download each Local Catch card.

          

 
How do I recognize fresh seafood?

 

 

HOW CAN I RECOGNIZE FRESH SEAFOOD?

Fish and shellfish are highly perishable and must be properly handled from catch to cooking.  Mishandling results in loss of flavor and nutrients.  Be sure that the seafoods you buy are fresh.  The following indicators will help you determine freshness and quality.

A FRESH FISH has

Eyes that are bright, clear, full, and often protruding.  As a fish deteriorates, the eyes become cloudy, pink, and sunken.

Gills that are bright red or pink and free from slime.  Avoid fish with gills that are dull pink, gray, brown, or green.

Flesh that is firm and elastic and springs back when pressed gently with the finger.  It should not separate from the bone.  As fish ages, the flesh becomes soft and slimy, and slips away from the bone.  The flesh of fillets should be firm and elastic, and have a fresh-cut appearance with no browning or drying around the edges.

Skin that is shiny and not faded, with scales that adhere tightly.  Characteristic colors and markings fade as a fresh fish gets older.

An intestinal cavity that is pink, with a bright red blood streak.  The streak should not be dark or brown.

An odor that is fresh and mild.  Fish fresh from the water have no fishy smell.

FRESH SHRIMP have

A mild odor and firm meat, are not slippery, and retain their natural color.  Beware of shrimp that are bright pink or red, or that suffer from black spot, a defect that is a sign of age or poor handling.

COOKED SHRIMP have

Red shells and meat with a red tint.  They should have no disagreeable odor.

LIVE CRABS AND LOBSTER

Show movement of the legs.

COOKED CRABS AND LOBSTER

Should have a bright red color and no disagreeable odor.

CLAMS AND OYSTERS IN THE SHELL

Should be alive.  Shells should be tightly closed or should close tightly when tapped.

 

In addition, North Carolina Sea Grant has developed a chart that helps guide consumers in selecting North Carolina seafood.  Listing 11 types of seafood, the chart describes what to look for and what to avoid for each seafood type. Click on the link below for the Quality Counts poster.
