Buy Local Fish!

Speaker, Lorie French, is in the commercial fishing industry here in Cayucos where they currently fish for black cod, also called black sable.  She had rope to show how lines are tied, knotted, and hooked.  Lorie informed us of the need for all boats to have an observer on board at all times to ensure rules with the Nature Conservancy are observed.  She and her husband are, at heart, crabbers.  She produced a crab trap, hand made by her husband, used to trap the crabs we enjoy in our restaurants.  It is hard work, but they love the life.  Bottom line, BUY LOCAL FISH!
