I grew up in a fishing family. It's not only a way to make a living, but a passion. There's no guarantee a season is going to be profitable. My hope is that more people come to realize that the seafood we bring in is no simple feat, we work hard at this and put in a lot of care with our product. Most of us are small fishing family businesses providing quality seafood to our communities.
