GREENPORT, N.Y. — October 2, 2013 — As many as a million saltwater fish have been removed from Local Ocean fish farm in Greenport outside the city of Hudson.
Greenport Supervisor John Porreca confirmed that the fish were gone on Tuesday afternoon, months after the once-promising business closed when the property was foreclosed upon by its lender.
The new owner of the property — a Long Island developer named Mike Spielman — could not be reached for comment. Neither could his Hudson-based attorney, who is on vacation.
WNYT-TV in Albany reported that the inventory was sold to fish markets, as well as a company that makes fertilizer.
