TODAY’S FISH AUCTION PRICES
It’s a far cry from the old chalkboard and auctioneer, but it’s still a daily ritual in New Bedford: The catch comes in; buyers post bids electronically; and waiting trucks carry seafood from the nation’s wealthiest commercial fishing port to customers around the world. Every weekday at noon, The New Bedford Light brings you “The Daily Catch” — a listing of the latest seafood prices from the Buyers and Sellers Exchange. (Note: The exchange doesn’t update all prices every day. The Daily Catch reflects the most recent prices available.)
For a front row seat at the auction, read Will Sennott’s account of the “swift dance” that unfolds each morning on New Bedford’s waterfront.
