local seafood
Nearby ocean harvest
Local seafood is fish, shellfish, and other marine or freshwater creatures caught or harvested near where they're sold or served.
The term emphasizes freshness and shorter supply chains: The restaurant sources local seafood from boats that come in each morning.
What counts as "local" varies—it might mean the same coastline, region, or country.
