"What Ted has done in the past for us in New Bedford, especially in regard to the scallop industry, means he’ll be greatly missed." — Richie Canastra
In response to Montel Williams’ question "What is the industry’s biggest concern right now?" Richie Canastra, of the Whaling City and Boston Seafood Display Auctions replied "it’s the Catch Share program that NOAA has implemented in 2010. We’re concerned. We want to be allocated enough fish to be profitable. Ted would have been there right beside us, campaigning for us. He lives with us in spirit."
