”Elevated Bluefin: Gulf of Maine Conservas Raises the Bar on Locally Caught Tinned Tuna”
By Colles Stowell
Just after midnight on a cool, moonlit July night, Capt. Keper Connell grips a beefy fishing rod bent hard toward the water. He works a massive reel to bring in the 500-pound tuna he hooked in 200 feet of water 15 miles off the New Hampshire coast. About an hour later, he lands the fish. Call it a Bluefin Moondance. Connell mostly fishes by himself aboard the F/V Figment. His tuna will not be sold for sushi or tuna steaks. It’s destined for tin cans.
