Dive into Summer’s Finest Catch: Seasonal Fish Selections from Founding Farmers

At Founding Farmers, we’re thrilled to unveil our latest culinary collaboration that comes straight from the ocean to your plate. Our talented Chef Joe has crafted a collection of delicious fish preparations inspired by our partnership with Norpac Fisheries Export, renowned for their commitment to sustainability and quality. 

Our newly curated selections of fresh fish are featured in four new entrées that epitomize the flavors of the season. Available on our lunch & dinner menu at most of our locations*, each dish is a celebration of flavors and textures that will leave you savoring every bite!  

 

Norpac Fisheries Export’s dedication to sustainability is evident in every aspect of their operations from the way they use responsible catching practices to the way they use barcodes to track the moment fish are caught to when they arrive on your plate. By reducing EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) usage by a staggering 87%, they’re also championing eco-friendly packaging practices. Moreover, their emphasis on accountability, responsibility, traceability, and sustainability mirrors our own values at Founding Farmers.  

 

Our Lemon Butter Fish of the Day is sautéed until golden brown, served with tender spaghetti squash topped with creamy cheese and a sweet balsamic glaze. Our Pan-Seared Panzanella dish is perfectly seared and topped with decadent homemade pesto and served over top our crunchy panzanella salad. 

Our Blackened Fish of the Day of the day is a crispy and spicy delight. It is served over a sweet and savory peach & sweet potato purée, alongside scratch-made crab ravioli, and finished with creamy lemon butter and bright herb oil.

Served overtop our warm summer squash and white bean salad, our Parmesan Rosemary-Crusted Fish of the Day is coated with a crunchy parmesan crust and topped with scratch-made pistachio butter.

In addition, our classic Our Simple Style Fish of the Day is still available, featuring J.Q. Dickinson salt, pepper, and lemon, served alongside creamy mashed potatoes and crisp green beans. 

Prepare to savor the freshest catches of the season, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Join us at most Founding Farmers locations* to enjoy these delicious & sustainable seasonal fish entrées 

*Our seasonal fish of the day entrée selections are not currently available at Founding Farmers Fishers & Bakers.
