Vineyard fisherman Sam Hopkins has brought about a half-dozen loads of sea scallops into Menemsha since bringing in his initial catch last week, according to Martha’s Vineyard Fishermen’s Preservation Trust executive director Shelley Edmundson. On July 25 Hopkins’ vessel Endurance unloaded the first direct sea scallops into Chilmark in years, thanks to a $1 million permit acquired by the Trust.

Our Meet the Fleet event was a huge success! Visitors enjoyed tours aboard the historic F/V Roann from Mystic, Seaport Museum, live music from Goodnight Louise, crab races, fish printing, fillet demonstrations, buck-a-shuck oysters, and more. This free event was a great opportunity to meet our local fishermen and celebrate our working waterfronts. If you didn't make it this year, be sure to come next year!
