Perry’s Lobster Shack fully reopen after recovery from storm damage

July 16, 2024 National, New England

Perry’s Lobster Shack, an iconic coastal restaurant in Surry, has transformed since damage was done in March 2024 after intense storms. “When people think of Surry, I want them to think of Perry’s Lobster Shack,” said Seth Cote, the owner of Perry’s Lobster Company. After keeping his family legacy thriving, the storms put things on halt, and Cote didn’t know what was in store for the future after the wharf was completely wiped out. However, progress has been made.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
