Lobstermen Truck Series- Sandollar Tony Gross

This is the first photo in a series of Lobstermen Truck pics I’ll be doing. A whole lot can be told by the way a guy organizes the back of his pickup truck.

I chose to start out the series with Tony Gross’ truck. Tony is the skipper of the Sandollar and his entire operation is run clean as a whistle. He pulls up in his truck and has two totes with no holes which we dump his bait into so that the fish juice doesn’t run out of the boxes and into the back of his truck. You could literally eat off the bed of his truck.

Also note that the bed of his pickup is devoid of clutter. The only thing you will find back there are his scrubbed clean tools of the trade. A class act that Tony Gross is.

For the love of surfing.

My lobstermen tell me the water temp is 43 degrees. There must be a serious rush that gets these guys out there in 43 degree water.

Yesterday afternoon these crazy bastards were surfing the Back Shore. Sure seemed dangerous to me, but they must know what they are doing. They caught some decent waves.

Dont Be The Chef Who………….

Don’t be the chef who leaves the tail on the shrimp in an alfredo sauce or marinara sauce dish.

How the hell are we supposed to get the shrimp out of the shell without getting our hands all messed up?

Don’t be the chef that produces this-

Shrimp Alfredo

Or this-

Shrimp Marinara

Thank you

The Daily Catch

Local Gas Prices 4:45AM 4/17/08

I updated some local gas prices this morning on the CapeAnnGasPrices.com site.
Check here and add the prices if you are inclined for the stations that I missed.
Here is the site –CapeAnnGasPrices.com
The recently reopened Pump and Pantry on the corner of Prospect and Washington has the cheapest prices across the board for the eight stations I updated.  If my memory serves me right this station touched off the mini gas price war in town when it came under new management a couple years ago, and then went to being the highest priced gas around town.  Gas right around the corner at the full serve US Petroleum is 20 cents higher if you pay with a credit card, 10 cents higher if you pay cash.  I posted the credit card price because I figure a majority of people pay with debit or credit cards.  Twenty cents per gallon is a big swing.
You can check the updated prices here
