Part 2 of our double local partner visit: . 🌊
Captain John and Captain Drew, with , took some of the Elon Dining team 65 miles off the NC shore for an 8.5-hour deep-sea fishing trip in the Atlantic. Our chefs baited hooks, dropped weights, waited for the tug, and reeled them in one after another.
By the end of the trip, the team had caught 45 fish with the guidance of Captain John and Captain Drew, learning what it's like to be an NC-based fisherman.
Being that far offshore made the whole process feel a lot more real. It’s one thing to know where our seafood comes from. It’s another to bait the hook, reel it in, and bring it back to campus to prep, cook, and serve. Thank you to all the fisherman out there who make local seafood possible!
