This study was carried out in the Bonne Bay region on the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada. A seafood consumption survey was undertaken as a case study for exploring fisheries contributions to community food security. The findings show that households prefer eating local over imported seafood. Fish plants and networks of family/friends are the main sources for local seafood. However, the results also show a decline in consumption of most local fish and shellfish species. Survey results are contextualized by findings from interviews with local households and fish harvesters. The article concludes with recommendations for strengthening the contributions of fisheries to community food security.
