Episode 16: Lake Superior Fish
There are a small number of commercial fisherman left on Lake Superior. I had the pleasure of going out one morning last week with Harley Tofte, who has seen the lake and the industry change over the last 29 years. He operates Dockside Fish Market out of Grand Marais and sells to the local restaurants (including Angry Trout Cafe). Watch this episode to see Lake Superior in all its glory and how its Trout and Herring get to your table.

What IS IT about people who work closely with the land and sea? They are so, so beautiful! Is it their passion that shines through? Their simple lives? Their connection to the earth? I don't know, but every person in your videos seem so centered, so honest, so peaceful in their own skins, I find myself smiling to the point of a face ache every time I watch one of the episodes.
Thank you for another great post. Oh, and Lake Superior? How magnificent is that vast piece of water!
That is one beautiful morning on the water.
This video was expecially beautiful. Keep up the good work! I'm glad someone is finally doing something like this!
I wouldn't be here but for the herring and lake trout. Thanks so much for this video, I miss those seagulls.
These videos are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for doing them...and for giving us a look into the lives of those who grow and supply us food. Awfully humbling.
