My wife grew up In Netcong. I know the Italian American club is still going strong.
I remember my dad and my uncle hitting the pier in long branch and coming home with coolers full of whiting. The would spend 2 days smoking
Them and then give out many to people in the neighborhood and the guys at the firehouse and American legion. Man do I wish I could catch some whiting and smoke me up the pop did in the old days.

At shop rite yesterday to get steak, I would have been better off going to Teaxas Roadhouse and got the same size steak, cooked, with 2 sides for same price

I had Striper that was vac packed by me 2 yrs + 2 months old right before Christmas. Still tasted better than store fish. I like to strip a dozen ears of white corn peak of the season and vac pack (add some folded paper towel to the top or you'll fill your drip tray). Shrimp is cheaper than steak, buying bluefish at the store looks risky.

Yea, I gotta get my Vaccum sealer back from My S-I-L. Won't buy fish from a supermarket and the Co-op didn't have crap last week, the boats were iced in!

I remember when you couldn't give fish away unless it was cleaned or fileted.
half day fluke from brielle was 8 bucks and fish were plentiful.That isn't that long ago
