Fishermen's Festival Fish Fry by the numbers

Thu, 05/02/2013 - 5:00pm

Below are some statistics and information about the 2013 Fishermen's Festival Fish Fry.

A total of 772 fish sandwiches were sold in three hours; then we sold just fish baskets with no buns.

Customers ate seven cases potato chips (25 pounds to a case) and two large cases of pickles.

People waited in line up to 30 minutes, due to the line being from the door of Mine Oyster upstairs to Pier 1 Pizza.

At the waterfront, we sold out of 175 pounds of french fries and 13 gallons of fish chowder.
