Food Truck Friday: Salty's Lobster Shack began as an idea at the school bus stop - CBS Boston

MIDDLETON - It's the final Food Truck Friday of the summer and it ends with the first seafood truck of the season.

Salty's Lobster Shack at The Lot on South Main in Middleton started as an idea between guys after their kids went off to school.

"It originated again, at the bus stop like we were talking about. We have young kids and sitting down, going to the restaurant and trying to keep your kids quiet so you're not interrupting anybody. This is an experience where you can come," co-owner Leland Boutilier told WBZ-TV.

Salty's is now giving locals their seafood fix.

"Because every time you want good seafood you have to go to Gloucester, go to Ipswich or Essex and Farms is a great place, places like that. So we figured let's get something a little more local so people won't have to go as far," co-owner Jim Burfoot told WBZ.

They opened during the pandemic and they knew they were on to something.

"We had probably two-to-three hundred people here. We couldn't even get the orders out. It was just everybody at once was on top of us," Burfoot said.

So what's the most popular item? 

"Cold lobster roll. That's our traditional. We have had people come in and our panini is kind of a specialty, it's lobster panini," Boutilier said.

The best part for this crew is this is a family affair. They get a chance to work together, spend time with their kids and spread smiles through the community.

"This is an experience where you can come, kids can run around. We've got a ballfield for them to play on, so it's nice to be local," Boutilier said.

"We got our wives behind the scenes helping. Our kids are running around working, my dad works out here. It's nice having a group of people around that care about it," Burfoot told WBZ,

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. From one year...
