Quiet at the fish pier as week winds down with modest business
The harbor saw reduced activity with only seven trips yesterday while earlier days boomed with big fish receipts. The Florida delivered 53 swordfish offered at 7 cents a pound, the Bernie & Bessie brought 48 swords at 74 1/2 cents, and groundfish totals reached 209,700 pounds including haddock, cod, hake, pollock, and cask. Captain Powers and other skippers reported solid catches and steady prices as vast coal barges and large passenger liner traffic added to the harbor's bustle.
