Viewfinder: Cub Scouts Tour The Fish Store

The boys of Bayport Cub Scout Troop 130 took a short field trip to in Bayport to visit with owner Seth Needelman and learn about the family-run business.

Needelman spent over an hour with the boys teaching them about fish and the way his business operates. All the scouts got to hold a live lobster and learned the difference between a little neck clam and chowder clam. 

The highlight of the tour was when Needelman showed the boys the jaw of a shark he caught. The scouts got to feel the shark's sharp teeth, and much to the cubs' excitement, Needelman took out the fish hook he found in the shark's belly. 

Needelman, who is a former President of the Bayport-Blue Point Chamber of Commerce and past Grand Marshal of the Chamber's St. Patrick's Day Parade, has always tried to foster a strong connection between local business and the community. He has been giving tours of his store for the past five years to scouting, school and science groups.  Call the store at 631-472-3018 for more information.
