A Problem We Can Eat Our Way Out Of
In this episode, we head to Maryland's Eastern Shore, where an ecological crisis has sparked one of the most creative-and delicious-farm to school innovations we've ever seen. Caroline County Public Schools and their partners at Real Good Fish are tackling the Chesapeake Bay's invasive blue catfish by literally eating the problem. From kid‑approved fish cakes to the soon‑to‑be‑iconic "surf dog," Beth Brewster and Holly Nuss walk us through how they turned a 100‑pound predator into a nutritious school meal, a sustainability lesson, and a community movement. Along the way we learn how a mobile farmers market bus, summer meal creativity, and a whole lot of local ingenuity are feeding families, supporting watermen, and restoring an ecosystem-one fish cake at a time.
