Abstract:

From the 1930s, George Gray's family has run the oldest fish house in Avon. In the early years of the fishing industry, fishing was steady and so was the price, and Mr. Gray's family sold to numerous fish companies over the years. But now, fishing goes up and down, and the prices changes rapidly, especially for seasonal fish like crabs.
