I'm fine with the lobsterboats selling lobsters at the dock. Finfish would be harder to manage. The problem is "If he can do that why can't I do this." An example would be a mate, say, who works on a charter boat and has a RI license. And this mate starts selling seabass and blackfish and stripers to people who are walking the docks.
Crabs, lobsters, squid, mackerel, herring, or anything that isn't managed under a quota I don't have a problem with. But the regulated quota species I think would be very hard to figure out at a dockside sale.
