There's a long list of RI restaurants that still don't.

NIB, yeah, the fish guy's scale was THE weight. Too bad about that guy. It was probably a 50. Oh, by the way, back then, bluefish, gutted , were 8 cents a pound which goes to show you how plentiful they were in the 70 and 80's. Which is an interesting fact about stripers. They are one of the only fish which will last with their guts in them provided they are on ice.
