Hudson, NY

Hudson Valley Fisheries in Hudson, NY chose recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) because it has minimal impact on the environment and its ability to create year-round supplies of sustainable seafood. Their filtration system is designed to convert fish waste into fertilizer for plant growth on our farmland and re-use as much water as possible. Operating in a self-contained manner, the steelhead trout are free of mercury and microplastics that are now accumulating in open seas. Our steelhead enjoy Best Aquaculture Practices-certified feed that is free of GMOs, feather meal, corn or soy. Their fish have a super clean, mild flavor, delicate aroma and a medium flake.

Founder John Ng joined us on the Know Your Food podcast to talk about rethinking seafood systems, the promise of land-based aquaculture, and how Hudson Valley Fisheries is setting a new standard — watch here.
