Fresh Off the Boat: Dogfish Available to Local Fish Lovers for First Time
For a number of years now, the spiny dogfish has been a mainstay of the town’s commercial fishing fleet. Along with skate, it is by far the largest species by volume landed at the fish pier. Most of that fish, however, is shipped to Europe, where it is used for fish and chips, among other things. But folks can now buy fresh-off-the-boat dogfish filets, which fishermen say if processed correctly will rival the texture and taste of traditional whitefish such as cod. “It’s beautiful white meat,” said Doug Feeney, a commercial fisherman and member of the Chatham Harvesters Cooperative, which is now selling fresh dogfish fillets. The Coop’s permits and equipment allow consumers to get the fish in vacuum-sealed packs for $10 per pound the day after it is caught. >click to read< 09:24

A new website is highlighting where people in parts of Cape Breton can purchase fresh lobster right off the boat. Lobster fishermen from Bay St. Lawrence to Gabarus — what’s known as area 27 — have launched a website that shows users a map of all the ports where lobster is sold and what hours it is available. Most lobster from area 27 is exported, says Veronika Brzeski, the project manager for the fishermen in the area. Read the rest here, and visit http://capebretonlobster.com/ 10:11
