I think it's great but I also would like to see DEM start checking restaurants as all bass bought have to have a tag or paperwork as far as I know. It might stop the back door sales that we all know is flourishing in every city and town.

I'm thinking the sting is still on going with this problem. Next time you see it on a menu (usually its a special) ask the server for the tag number of the fish and tell them you want to know if its legal before you order it. If they can't provide the number ask for the kitchen manager. If they can't provide it call enforcement. If everyone of us did this it would clean up some of the back door dealing.

I don't know Dennis. You'd then have a hard time getting served at any Newport restaurant.

its crazy how much of this goes on, having been in the restuarnt business for 20 years Ive seen it a lot, from fish that are under sized, closed season, no season, shellfish with no tags, guys selling beef/meat from their farms with no paperwork, eggs,chickens, etc.
