An Abundance of Cod: The Fishing Era at the Isles of Shoals with Ann Beattie

Step back in time to the early 17th century when Europeans began to sail to the New World and carry home tales of wondrous riches in the form of the obliging cod fish. Discover how salting and drying cod became a staple of New England life. Investigate the lost art of drying cod to produce the renowned “dunfish,” once sought worldwide for its quality and flavor. 
Isles of Shoals historian Ann Beattie will take us back to the era when the Isles of Shoals was the busiest spot in the New World!
