New England Fishmongers is run by Captain Tim and Kayla with the support of a handful of awesome crew members. Tim began his commercial fishing career in his early twenties, working within a variety of fisheries. Once we worked his way up to purchase his own boat (the original Finlander), he began selling his catch directly to consumers. This was in part a response to New England's consolidating fisheries. With the Catch Share system pushing the small dayboat fleet out of business, New England Fishmongers was created in an effort to adapt and overcome. Since there was no "middle-man," local communities were able to reap the benefit of the freshest fish straight from Tim’s boat. Overall the years, Tim and Kayla built a robust clientele of local consumers and began supplementing their own catch with seafood from other harvesters and processors.
