2017 Maine (non) Season update

Recommended Posts

Northern Atlantic shrimp harvests averaged 13 million lbs - Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine - in 2011 and 2012.  This year, much like last year, a 117,000 lb research sample has been granted to a few boats berthed on the Maine Coast.  After measurements and weights recorded, the boats can sell the shrimp retail and wholesale.

 

My guys on Portland's waterfront tell me a sample catch came in Monday at $9.99/pound.  It sold out by closing time.
