Maine's Lobster Fishing

In this photo, Jim shows the group the basics of sorting lobsters. The group spent part of the day looking at Jim's company, which he processes and ships the lobsters that he catches. We later went to his wharf and he showed us his boat and also the instruments that he uses to catch the lobsters.

This picture was taken at the Harbor Fish Market, where we spent some of the day at when we were in Portland. The fish market gave us a look at what "fresh" meant to people that live in fishing communities. The seafood products that were being sold were just recently caught and taken from the boats to the markets without many steps between. The boats that caught the fish were docked right outside of the market.  The market showed the array of different species of fish and other sea life that Maine has to offer.
