Abundant Seafood
Abundant Seafood is a commercial fishing operation run by Mark Marhefka, who lives in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and works from Shem Creek in the Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.[1] He supplies many of Charleston's fine dining establishments who focus on local food and local farming,[2] and is known for bringing relatively unpopular fish (what he called "trash fish" to Anthony Bourdain[3]) to attention.[4] His customers have to be flexible; he says, "distribution is based on customer loyalty".[5] Marhefka started Abundant Seafood in 2007 with the desire to make locally caught seafood available to Charleston, and in 2010 added a consumer-sponsored fishery, where local people can reserve up to ten pounds of seafood per month.[6]
