Oh, I'm not confused at all. I was being sarcastic. It's an open secret that a good part of our quota gets filled with fish from RI/NY waters, and, shocking to say, from the EEZ.
To be, a dead fish is a dead fish no matter where it was caught, but legally, you can't possess 30 fish in RI, CT or NY waters with a Mass commercial license. As a guy who only fishes Mass, and only from the shore, I'd prefer that 25% of the quota comes from out of state. As long as there's a quota and the season shuts down when it's filled.
