someone must be buying them....

Since the late 70's when there were still BIG whiting, the draggerds in the tri state area discovered a huge market for tiny whiting overseas. The big stuff got marketed in NYC (Fulton) and the small stuff got shipped to Spain where it is still very popular. Since they were getting as much or often more for the small stuff, they started concentrating on it and soon enough, thats all there was as they didn't ever give them a chance to grow. The same has been happening in Point Judith and Gloucester though in Gloucester thereare still some patches of large left (but not for long).....JC
