May 16, 2016 — A deal struck earlier this spring is already paying dividends for Gloucester.
Back in March, the Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub group announced it would feature Gloucester-landed haddock on the spring menu at its 105 restaurants in New England and upstate New York.
The agreement seemed like a nice bit of news for the local fishing fleet at a time when it was sorely needed.
If the last few weeks are any indication, however, the deal is more than window dressing. It can be measured in jobs.
