Yeah, same thing going on in the stores

high around this area, so the stores pretty

good deals you get are if you meet the shrimp

boats when they come in and buy right off the

boat.





If boats are selling seafood without the proper licensing here and they
get popped, chances are high you won't be seeing the owner on that
vessel again. They really cracked down on this over the years. The real
money has been curtailed. Not only does a moratorium exist, but several
years waiting list to attain certain commercial licensing permits for
when they DO start reissuing such permits,,,such as Blue Crab. Some of
the oldtimers were grandfathered..: )
