“Catch & Cook” Partnership Program Launches in Michigan
OutdoorHub 05.22.12
Members of the media are invited to attend the official launch of the “Catch & Cook” partnership program. “Catch & Cook” is the direct result of a partnership among the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Michigan State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan Sea Grant, Michigan Charter Boat Association, and the Michigan Restaurant Association.
“Catch & Cook” allows charter fishing clients who catch fish from Michigan’s Great Lakes an opportunity to take their fresh catch to a participating Michigan restaurant. The restaurant cooks and serves the fresh catch to anglers and their guests. It promotes and encourages creative, safe, marketing of Michigan Great Lakes sports fish through a partnership with the charter fishing industry and local restaurants.
