Turk’s Seafood Mattapoisett Serves Swordfish That Looks Like Massachusetts

Every morning before dawn, Richard Pasquill, an owner at Turk's Seafood in Mattapoisett, makes his way to the New Bedford waterfront. His mission is to get active in the seafood auction in order to land the highest quality seafood directly from the fishing boats. Only the freshest seafood will do for Turk's loyal customers.

For the past week, Richard has seen some great deals on swordfish. Last week, for example, the swordfish was so robust and high quality that he marked prices down at the Turk's fish market to $15.99 a pound.

What do you think? Are you buying into the Turk's Massachusetts shape? Or do you see something else?
