Rhode Island seafood is defined as all seafood (marine species) landed in Rhode Island and grown in Rhode Island waters.

Rhode Island seafood is abundant, diverse, and readily available. Annual total landings approach 100 million pounds. That total includes dozens of species – many types of finfish, shellfish, crustaceans, squid, and more. View weekly updates on what’s landed in Rhode Island.

Knowing what species are projected to be available each month ensures that we are eating with the seasons. The species with higher projections reflect what various fishers may be fishing for!
