Plenty of Fish Shares- Off the Hook Share Matchmaker Services!

Posted 7/3/2010 9:46am by Sadie Beaton.

While it may not be as sexy as that other Plenty of Fish matchmaking service, we did want to do our part to help folks who may be interested in "hooking up" to split our fish shares.

The way this matchmaker blog post works is pretty simple. There are no exhuastive forms to fill out about whether you enjoy long walks along the beach or prefer to hang out in leather bars. If you are looking to split a fish share with some other folks for this summer season, just leave a comment below with some contact information. It may be helpful to add which weeks you are availabe to do pickup, which neighbourhood you live in, and whether you are looking to split the share with one or more others. (To keep the spam-bots away, it is also advisable to replace the "@" in your email address with an "at".)

Up to five contacts may be added to any share during your sign up to Off the Hook CSF- or anytime, as the summer progresses. You'll have to decide amongst yourselves who wants to submit the payment before the season begins. The online paypal service that accepts credit cards will require one payment. If you plan to pay with more than one cheque, this is possible-  we would just ask that you add a note to your membership when signing up.

When you have found a share-mate, please send an email to info@offthehookCSF.ca and we will erase your comment from the string, making it easier for others to get their "hook up" as well. And who knows, you already share a passion for fresh, sustainable, local fish with these folks- there's no telling what else you have in common!

If I'm splitting a share, is it up to ,us to divide the delivery or can it be pre-packaged into the required number of pieces?

Hi Joanne!

Good question... In Halifax, our fish shares are weighed and packaged onsite as subscribers check in each Thursday. In a few cases, we do wrap fish seperately to accommodate folks sharing a share- just ask us at the site. Now- it may not be possible to have an exactly EVEN split of the share due to the unpredictable size of the fish, but we can do our best.

For valley subscribers, the shares do come prewrapped - as long as we know ahead of time, wrapping individually should be no problem here either.

Thanks again and please feel free to forward any more questions you might have.

Best,

Sadie
