As the daughter of a commercial fisherman, Togue worked in Maine’s commercial fishing and seafood industries for over 30 years. As a fisheries manager for Maine's Department of Marine Resources, she helped to bring Maine’s scallop fishery back from the brink. Passive management had led to overfishing and the commercial fishery was barely hanging on.
Togue started this business to help Maine fishermen fish more profitably, while helping Americans to enjoy better scallops. But I have to say, it's such a delight and such an honor to be able to introduce people across the country to such amazing seafood. To be honest, I didn't realize how difficult it was to get truly great seafood until I started getting all the OMG e-mails from people trying my seafood for the first time. I absolutely LOVE what I do. So thank you for being a part of it.
