So I read the article and I have a question.
If they only caught 86 tons of the allotted haddock then how is it that Dave's market (a small chain in RI with great fish) has had it on sales for the last month?
Where is it coming from? It is not flash frozen as I asked the fish monger behind the counter and he said "no, it's fresh caught locally".
Seems like the facts don't add iup.

No boat, back in the suds.

Almost different fish. The haddock that the herring boats were catching are little fish with zero market value. The haddock you see in Dave's is caught by groundfish boats and they have been doing very well on the haddock. The issue for the herring boats is that they are catching too many of the little buggers, and they are only allowed to catch a little. |

Mike:
I dug up Eben's thread from December, although I think Nebe was wrong on the port, as these are the not Maine boats....

This picture in particular is no doubt paired-up close to shore. |
