Fisherman Q&A
Q: Where do you fish?
A: I fish in Alaska from Yakutat to the Bering Sea.
Q: Which products do you sell to Sea to Shore Seafood?
A: I sell Alaska Weathervane Scallops to Sea to Shore Seafood.
Q: How did you get started in fishing? How long have you been commercially fishing? Any family history in commercial fishing?
A: My father was a Scalloper too, proud to say, it runs in the family.
Q: What sustainable fishing practices/gear types do you use? What is your crew size for these fisheries?
A: Alaska has fishery managements in place to protect the stocks from overfishing. I take great pride in protecting any species that I am not fishing for, by gently handling them and making sure they are alive and healthy before releasing them back into the clear water. I will fish with up to 2 crewmembers.
