Ted's Fried Clams in Shapleigh, Maine, Has New Owners After 72 ... - WJBQ

Theodore and his wife Grace " Gram" Mavrakos opened one of Maines's first clam shacks in the spring of 1950.

Throughout the years, Ted's has been a favorite for so many Mainer's who adored the Mavrakos family and their excellent restaurant.

Back in 1950, it was just a clam shack, but over the decades they have expanded adding seating and Rockhouse Ice Cream! After 72 years the Mavrakos sold the family business to Jason A. Cole. Jason was born and raised in Southern Maine. Many of his fondest memories, were visiting Ted's in the springtime with his parents and grandparents. It was a tradition the family loved. So when Cole saw the restaurant up for sale, he had to jump on it. Jason and his wife Laura had always dreamed of owning their own family restaurant and now that dream has come true.

Jason, unfortunately, lost his wife Laura unexpectedly in February of 2021. Jason alongside their 5 children, has been working to honor her life and Legacy, with Laura's Legacy of Love. A non-profit set up to help those that need a hand. Laura was deeply involved in the community. Ted's will continue to grow this year, going from seasonal to year-round service.

With the award-winning chef, Melissa DeLuc, who is excited to bring her creativity to Ted's,

I am very excited to be joining the Cole family as the executive chef of Ted's fried clams as the newest Chef I will be adding a full breakfast menu that will have lots of traditional items as well as some unique twists. Keep your eye out for some pretty crazy daily specials. I look forward to getting to know the Shapleigh community, and I look forward to making your breakfast, a memorable experience.

Ted's Fried Clams and Rockhouse Ice Cream will go from seasonal to year-round for the first time in 72 years. Look for the doors to open this month!

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
