Regulating Lobster Parts


In the spirit of Massachusetts Lobster Day, Jim filed a bill making it easier to sell lobster in parts – claws and tails – here in Massachusetts.  While processed lobster parts from elsewhere can come into Massachusetts, due to some outdated statutes these lobster parts cannot be legally processed or sold here.  Working in conjunction with the state’s Division of Marine Fisheries, the Massachusetts Lobstermen’s Association has endorsed the concept of updating the state’s statutes and regulations to enhance sales of lobster products in the state.
