Taking a hit

The New England lobster fishing industry has been hit hard with the shut down of restaurants and travel due to Covid-19. Summer 2020 may continue to look murky for the industry as restaurants and New Englanders decide how to best open back up and venture back out. Lobster, and the men and women of the picturesque seacoast towns that ply the water for this world renowned delicacy are one of the institutions that help make our New England area so unique. To stay afloat, many lobster fleets have begun to sell to local consumers right off the boat.
