The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
Romeo Solviletti, General Manager for the Gloucester Plant of Connolly Seafoods (http://www.steveconnollyseafood.com) talks about Silver Hake and the return of Cod off the shores of Canada.
Marco Goulart cuts hake fillets fresh from the FV Marue (New Bedford). Hake is a large marine fish usually considered part of the Cod family.

At 6:30 this morning they were filleting hake, cod, and very large halibut! What is the name of your restaurant?

Oh no ~ he is not a professional chef ~ sorry I left that impression. When we all go on the Gloucester vacation Charlie is at the helm of the kitchen ~ hence “our vacation chef”. We all fall into tasks ~ everyone seems to have a speciality ~ it’s like clockwork ~ dinner is a Gloucester feast every night ~ and it starts at Connolly’s.

Excellent Fish on Fridays (FOF) Very fine art filleting these out and I remember them being used for fish cakes. Had a guy who drove an Cushman bread truck around with fish in 1960’s we called him Sam the fisherman. Fillet in the truck wrap it up right in front of your house played some music so you knew he was coming like the ice cream trucks…Thanks Dave:-)
