Spotted Lobster Landed At Captain Joe and Sons
Yesterday we got this spotted lobster in. They are rare but not nearly as rare as the blue ones or the double crusher clawed lobsters.

Herring Flats
These are whart we call flats of frozen herring.
Usually the flats weigh 45 lbs, these particular flats weigh 25 lbs each. They are being laid out on the floor so that they will defrost and our lobstermen can use them right away. The 45 lb flats of herring or pogies take a while to defrost. To pull the fish apart is a huge pain in the ass when they are a big frozen rectangular solid block. Breaking down pallet after pallet of frozen 45 lb flats wreaks havok on our backs but the real strain comes when you gotta lift them all back up while bent over.
I know, I know bend your knees. It still doesn’t make it easier when your on your fifth pallet and they are stacked up high. Not fun. Not fun at all.

When there are herring fishing closures it’s time to break out the frozen product.

Peter Mondello Readies New Gear
Here is Peter Mondello offloading some newly built lobster traps.
Peter is the exception and not the rule as he builds all his traps himself. Most guys buy their lobster traps from a trap builder like Winchester Fishing Gear, Friendship Trap Company or Eaton Traps.
Peter and his brother Joe use a shop under their father’s cobblers shop across from Saint Ann’s Church to build new traps and repair broken ones.

Blue Claw Lobster Regenerating Photos
We got a lobster in yesterday that had a vibrant blue claw growing. It was a smaller claw that is in the process of regenerating but the blue was one of the deepest blue colors that I have ever seen on a lobster.

Rush Phi Kappa Sigma At MIT!
The boys from Phi Kappa Sigma at MIT come every year for rush week to pick up a ton of lobsters to serve prospective rushees.
I thought MIT was primarily an engineering school but apparently they have their marketing down pretty good too!

The Scene Leaving Work Wednesday Night
Long days down the wharf this time of year. Working every day is starting to take a toll on me mentally but I try not to think about all the time away from my girls too much or it tends to really eat at me. You gotta grind it out this time of year and I know that. At least I took a half a second to snap this pretty shot before heading home.
