Rochester, N.Y. – Organically-raised seafood from a farm in Ireland will be on sale at Wegmans.
The Rochester-based grocery chain sent its vice president of seafood, Carl Salamone, to Bantry Bay, Ireland to find the fish. The company chose to go overseas because the U.S. Department of Agriculture does not have an established definition of organic seafood. Europe, on the other hand, offers European Union Organic Certification of fish.
"This supplier controls its product from day one. They raise their own juvenile stock on the Comhola River using a diet of sustainable natural and organic ingredients," Salamone said.
