Tapper's Cove Wharf
Torbay, Newfoundland
Aug. 12, 2012
This was a sight to behold, hundreds of filet-less cod bodies laying underwater beside the wharf. I half expected to see legions of crabs and other underwater scavengers crawling over these cod remnants. Oddly, not much activity down there...at least, not any I could see from the wharf.
Most folks fillet their haul at the wharf and chuck what remains in the water. I understand why, just imagine 15 cod rotting in your compost bin for 2 weeks and you'll see why folks fillet at the wharf and not at home.
