This small family-owned commercial fishery has been around since before 1895. Pick up fresh fish to cook up at home, some of the delicious locally caught smoked fish, or check out some of their other items! The company operates between spring and fall, depending upon the weather, and has three boats! We love to call ahead and find out when they will have a boat coming in so we can time our stop and see the fish being taken off the boat! Our boys love that!
