As a fisherman and active in wholesale seafood industry my whole life I can tell you the Mob does have a real influence from Maine to NYC/NJ still in My own life experience and I have first hand come in contact with it in several New England city’s but most heavily Certain New Jersey docks...Can tell you it’s still heavily ingrained and current today in 2020 (kickbacks and Cash usage fees Just to have product come over the docks)

Great article about Carmine Romano’s upstanding second life In one of my hoods (NB4life) And Fulton fish market back in the day
Anyone else hAve anecdotes or experiences with the mob involved in fishing in the modern era? I personally don’t have anything against it because when you get to that area it’s just something that’s always been and always will be and if you sign up you know what’s gonna happen.
Funny little tidbit. Longtime Tampa mobster Al Scaglione, owned a fish camp in Ruskin, FL back in the 1960s. Rented boats to fish Tampa Bay. Always rumors of the mob involved in the commercial fishing industry in West FL, but never found much in the way of hard evidence.
On New Bedford, my great-grandparents immigrated there from Portugal in early 1920s. They owned a grocery store on Coggeshall Road, it's now the parking lot for Antonio's Restaurant. They moved to NJ in the mid 1930s.
