Unofficial data indicate that the 2019 lobster season has been disappointing, especially when compared to last year’s catch, according to the Associated Press. Many of our lobster fishermen are in transition to either winter vacations or to scallop fishing beginning in early December.
Thus, we’re seeing a lot of lobster traps being hauled out of the water and trailered to storage while we’re also receiving notices from neighboring fishermen that we should sign up now for our deliveries of fresh scallops just hours out of the water.
