Welcome to Tide & Tale: The Count Down to Dockside Freshness Begins!
Welcome to the Tide! We are thrilled to open the pages of Tide & Tale, the official logbook for NH Coastal Harvesting.
This is more than a new endeavor— it’s the legacy of a family that has dedicated three generations (and counting!) to the sea. We are a 100% family-owned and run operation built on a deep understanding of local waters.
Our Mission: Preservation, Integrity, and Premium Quality
We founded this business on a powerful mission that goes beyond the catch:
Protecting Our Marine Legacy: We are committed to intentional, low-impact fishing techniques that not only follow all regulatory standards but prioritize the health of the entire ecosystem. We fish the waters with a view toward the next generation, ensuring our local resource remains abundant and vibrant.
Our Family Guarantee: When you buy from us, you know exactly who is handling your seafood. From the captain on the boat to our team processing your order, every step is managed with care. This deep-rooted, multi-generational expertise is our guarantee of quality.
Why Buy Direct from the Source?
The primary benefit of buying from a local fisherman is unrivaled freshness, and we cut out the typical supply chain to deliver that difference to your plate.
Speed to Plate: Your lobster goes directly from the cold water to your hand, often within hours of being hauled. This speed preserves the flavor and texture that big-box retailers simply cannot match.
Supporting Local Heritage: By choosing our family-run business, you invest directly in a coastal heritage and sustain a traditional way of life that benefits our entire community. This is more than a purchase—it's investing in a coastal heritage and guaranteeing the freshest quality that sustains our family’s way of life.
Behind the Scenes: How We're Preparing for the Spring
As the Spring 2026 season approaches, the work never stops. We are currently spending the off-season focused on operational excellence:
Upgrading Gear: Inspecting and upgrading our traps, lines, and navigational equipment to maximize efficiency and maintain our low-impact promise.
Boat Maintenance: Completing essential engine and hull maintenance on our vessel to ensure a reliable and safe season start.
Logistics Planning: Fine-tuning the online store and planning a streamlined process to guarantee smooth pickups at both our direct pickup locations.
The Countdown to Our Spring 2026 Season!
How to Guarantee Your Catch
Because we prioritize sustainable practices, our catch is limited.
