Abstract:

Blackfish is a type of fish considered a delicacy by New Yorkers in the early 20th-century. In Carteret County a group of Scandinavian fishermen moved to the area and brought their specially modified boats. This group of fishermen worked cooperatively and seamlessly with other fishermen and within coastal communities like Beaufort.
