My View of Life on the Dock
In the rear of Gloucester Auto Body on Maplewood Ave is B and N Fishing Gear owned by Corrado Buccieri. This commercial fishing supply store is located across from the Car wash on Maplewood Ave, nowhere near the waterfront but many fishermen do business here.

Against the wall there are coils of rope and wire used on fishing boats.
There are all different sizes and types. Some rope is braided some is not, some is hard lay (which means its stiff and more durable) some is soft lay (which is easier to handle but will not last as long with a lot of friction).
When people order the rope or wire they order lengths and at the end of the spool there more often than not is a left over piece that is too short to be of any use.

Corrado carries all types of swivels, and snap blocks, gloves, shovels, fish picks, basically anything you need as far as commercial fishing gear, he can get. Other places to get these type of things are Three Lanterns, and Rose’s Marine.
If you are in need, swing by and see either Matty out back or Corrado himself.

I just love this place. Every time I walk in I feel like I’ve known the girls for years and they are always willing to accomodate my tweaking of the dishes.
The prices are reasonable. The ingredients the freshest and it shows in the tasty dishes they prepare. Another reason Gloucester is the best place in the world to live- funky joints like Chili Choice.
