The Day - Stonington celebrates 68th Blessing of the Fleet - News from southeastern Connecticut

Stonington During Sunday morning s Fishermen s Mass at St. Mary Church, the Rev. Dennis Perkins read the names of the 41 fishermen from the Town Dock fleet who have died at sea. If that doesn t touch you, I don t know what will, said Cris Cruz, a Knights of Columbus member from Groton, who has attended the Mass for the past decade.  The Mass marked the traditional beginning to the 68th Blessing of the Fleet, which remembers the local fishermen lost at sea and prays for the success and safety of current fleet members.  During his sermon, Perkins reflected on the Biblical miracle of Jesus feeding 5,000 people with two fish and five loaves of bread. In front of the altar was a display painted with a view of the town from the water and models of three fishing boats.

The Day - All about freshness: Local seafood rushed to markets near and far - News from southeastern Connecticut

Stonington As the crew of the Jenna Lynn II offloaded its catch earlier this month at the Town Dock, Eddie Gambardella watched as six of his employees quickly filled about 30 boxes with ice and 60 pounds each of fluke, scup, ling, sea bass, squid and other species that slid down a sorting table. The owner of Gambardella Wholesale Fish Dealers already had orders for the catch from his customers, mostly wholesalers in New York City. Now it was a race to get the fish onto a truck and drive it to New York. It s all about getting it out as fresh as we can, so we can get the best price for it,  Gambardella said.

The Day - Fish Tales: Just 26, Shana Kuhse has been fishing and lobstering since she was 14

The two went on boat trips to catch tuna and shark. When she was just 14, a family connection helped her get a summer job on a Town Dock lobster boat.  So it was of little surprise that when she graduated in 2013 from Ledyard High School, where she said her grades were good and she could have gone to college, Kuhse found herself working at the Town Dock. Since I was really too young to know, I said, This is what I want to do.  And I just kept rolling with it, she said. I ve never had another job.   She worked her way up from stringing skate together for lobster bait to being the mate on the dragger Jenna Lynn II. In between, she s worked on several boats in the fleet.
