Market Friday at the port
I’m back home and doing ok but still very run down and probably won’t be online much today but luckily I had a few posts prepared in advance including this one
Thanks for all the kind comments and support
But as some call me Mr positive here’s a positive spin on the last few days I have been saying I need to loose weight recently well I did that lost just under 7lbs in 3 days
A post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.
For this weeks post, I thought I would share some details or I could say tools of the trade on some of the commercial fishing boats in the port here in New Bedford.
I have mentioned before it is the busiest fishing port in the country, to give an idea of how much, on average 1 million pounds of seafood enters and exits the port by truck, rail, and boat every day.
Back in 1840 when Whaling was the big thing here, New Bedford was the wealthiest city in the world
So these fishing tools end up supplying a lot of the fish around the country to various markets

Now I am no expert on the fine art of fishing, whether with a rod of a pier , in a river or on a beach, neither on the commercial fisherman's work, but I do think those yellow things in this next shot are lobster traps.
Now New Bedford or even Massachusetts does not catch the most Lobsters, that goes to the state of Maine
however New Bedford is known for its scallops
New Bedford scallops are prized around the world. Each year, nearly 50 million pounds of sea scallops land on New Bedford docks. During the height of the season, 500,000 pounds of scallop meats cross our docks in a single day.

and a last shot to finish off this post, but now I am thinking I see all these what I think are Lobster traps, in this post, I wonder how Scallops are caught, maybe with some other devices I have seen, I think but am not sure they use trawls or dredge type things to get scallops

Always on the lookout for good shots, an interesting city that has a lot of fishing income, great, I am a native of an agricultural area but ended up marrying an islander and well seafood is always part of the menu haha, always a pleasure to visit you.
I to grew up in an agricultural areA
Thanks fir your visit
Wow... You did lose weight. I also don't know much about fishing and equipment needed but, I will say nice pick.
Thanks
You are welcome 😊😊
I’m not an expert on the fishing art either, but I enjoy a lot the topic. I like your post and to be able to see the different elements for this activity.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Fun post on the details of the fishing trade. Tools of the trade are always interesting and photogenic 😁 Glad you are home. Always good to be in familar surroundings to recuperate.
thanks I do love seeing what I can spot around the port,
yes great to be home and eating normally again three days of just a liquid diet is not fun LOL
Wow, 7 pounds! I can't say as though I want to go on that kind of a diet! I got a little exercise today. Moved a yard of top soil out of the back of my truck. Take it easy and keep taking care of yourself.
LOL yeah especially since i know its just from stuck on a liquid diet for three days and will come back LOL
now moving a yard of soil thats hard work
It was a lot heavier than I expected it to be. The soil is quite wet this time of year!
Ohh I bet, just the thought of doing that is making me feel tired lOL
@TatuadoJay Very interesting publication. I lived two years in the Colombian coasts to be exact in Cordoba, San Antero, and fishing is one of the economy that moves that municipality while the tourism season arrives. I went out on several occasions to share in the lakes and it is a unique and genuine experience.
Thank you for your publication, it made me remember those beautiful memories of the sea.
always nice when a post triggers good memories for people
@tattoodjay I am a 3rd generation commercial fisherman, but in Florida, down here the lobster traps are all made of wood. I am not sure these are lobster traps but they might use these for them up north. Also, the escape rings in the traps are mighty small to be for lobster. Escape rings are placed in traps to let the undersized ones escape. I would like to know what they are, maybe next time you can ask someone what they are for. Scallops are caught with trawls.
