This week Joe is joined by Chef Charlotte Langley, co-founder and CCO of Scout Canning. Scout sells high quality, sustainable tinned fish including trout, mussels and lobster. Chef Char speaks about her experiences coming up as a chef with a long-time association with the sea and how it inspired Scout. The two also discuss the benefits of tinned fish as part of your diet, and how companies like Scout are working to improve our relationship with the sea.
We begin by introducing Chef Charlotte Langley and her background as a native Prince Edward Islander and career growth as a chef. Chef Char discusses how she came around on canning and her early adventures with an old canning machine. The two discuss Scout Canning and the products they offer; Chef Char offers insights into how she chose which fish to offer first and how the development went for her other products. She also drops some spoilers about a new line of Scout snack products coming out soon. Over the remainder of the show they address some of the missions of Scout, particularly it's focus on sustainability as an MSC Certified company. Chef Char shares how canning can be used to address issues in our aquaculture and fishing practices, and how tinned fish are a great tool in your arsenal as a cook, a student, a parent, or anyone looking for additional nutritious options in their diet.
