Russian artist uncovers pearl essence boom for Maine fishers
During wartime a Russian artist visited Rhode Island’s governor and sparked a discovery now worth millions for Down East Maine herring fishermen. The gold is a pearl essence from fish scales used to color and coat plastics and paints. Two Eastport plants and a Dennysville site process scales into a silvery pigment sold for three to ten dollars a pound, paying fishermen well. The method blends aging science and local effort, turning byproducts into a thriving industry with deep regional impact.
