Join us at the Camden Public Library on Tuesday, April 14, at 6:30 PM for an insider’s view of the world of seafood from deck to dining table with 44-year veteran of the New England working waterfront, Bill Gerencer. There will be delicious seafood to sample!Bill Gerencer worked as a lobsterman, and commercial fisherman in the Gulf of Maine and on Georges Bank – one of the most important, vibrant, and productive of the world’s fishing grounds.
Bill then came ashore and became a fish buyer for the prestigious Foley Fish Company at the Portland Fish Exchange, the first all-display fish auction in the United States.
Following a commitment to sustainability, Bill served on the Groundfish Advisory Panel to the New England Fisheries Management Council, and on the NOAA Office of Sustainable Fisheries’ Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel. Bill has also served on the NMFS Research Steering Committee and the Trawl Advisory Panel.
He is currently retired and in addition to writing he works part-time at an oyster farm and as a seafood consultant.
