Dead Fish As Bait

With the price of just about everything a lobsterman needs to go lobstering going through the roof including fuel, traps and bait, many lobstermen have turned away from costly herring and have been trying alternative bait such as fish racks.  We don’t provide fish racks for our lobstermen.  They will go and source them at local fish cutting operations such as Pigeon Cove Whole Foods on Parker Street.
