Bar Harbor lobster restaurant sells for $1.3M - Bangor Daily News

A lobster restaurant on Main Street in Bar Harbor has been sold to local owners for $1.3 million.

Bar Harbor Lobster Company has operated from 297 Main St. since 2016. The new owner is an entity called BH Lobster Company LLC, according to a property deed on file with the Hancock County Registry of Deeds. The date of the sale was Dec. 12, 2023, the document indicates.

It was not clear Thursday who is behind the company that bought the restaurant, but its mailing address as listed in the deed is 39 Rodick St. in Bar Harbor, which is the address for Royal Indian restaurant, which first opened in 2019.

A voicemail message and an email sent Thursday to the Indian restaurant were not returned. The outgoing message at the Indian restaurant says it has closed for the winter, while a phone number listed on the lobster restaurant's website is currently not in service.

The casual lobster restaurant describes itself on its website as a "lobster joint and rum bar" and says it started out in 2012 as "a roadside attraction" in the local village of Salisbury Cove. Its current location, at the corner of Main and First South streets, features a large outdoor patio with picnic tables and umbrellas.

The restaurant is not the only one in Bar Harbor to change hands this month. Ciao, a Cottage Street restaurant owned and operated by longtime local chef Kyle Yarborough, was sold last week to an entity called Bar Harbor Holdings LLC, according to documents filed at the county deeds office.

The sale price of Ciao was $775,000, according to Realty of Maine.

A third downtown Bar Harbor restaurant could have a new owner soon. Merchant & Frye, a restaurant that opened in 2021 in a Cottage Street building formerly occupied by a sandwich shop, is on the market for $1,999,000. The property was completely refurbished before opening two years ago and includes a vacation rental apartment upstairs and a separate four-bedroom apartment used as employee housing, according to the online listing.

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...
