Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
A new company called Maine Canned Fish, co-founded by Joshua Scherz and Erika Colby, aims to revive the sardine canning industry in Maine after the last large-scale cannery closed in 2010. The operation, based in a Topsham industrial park, plans to can flounder, cod, oysters, and other seafood in attractive tins, providing new marketing opportunities for local fishermen. Scherz hopes the facility will be operational by summer, receiving fresh fish daily from the Portland fish exchange and other sources up the coast.
