I’m not entirely sure what this crane contraption is used for – but I imagine it’s used for unloading the local catch…which I think is very cool.  We’re fortunate to have a robust local fishing economy – though I’ve been reading it’s getting harder and harder for them to remain in business.  I love having guests in town and taking them out to one of our many great restaurants…where there’s plenty of fresh seafood to be had.  I’m curious what the actual breakdown of local fish vs. non-local…but in any event, it’s delicious and I think the Commercial Fish Pier is one of the coolest spots in town.  It was also pretty awesome to have the tall ships docked there earlier this year!
