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. Because large commercial red snapper boats are often out at sea for multiple-day fishing trips, we weren't able to join one firsthand. Instead, we headed out with a local fisherman who holds both commercial and charter licenses, giving us the opportunity to experience the process up close while learning more about how the fishery operates. 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.

Ep 261 | True or false: most "fresh" fish has actually been frozen and the salmon at your grocery store isn't what the label says it is. This week, Natalie and Tara go behind the scenes of their trip to Florida for the Red Snapper episode of Discover Ag on the Road. They talk to a 30-year veteran and a Florida fishing captain about what most people don't know about the industry, from the quota system crushing American fishermen to the truth about frozen fish. Learn why most fishermen only make $2 on an $80 haul and how to spot mislabeled salmon at the grocery store.
