When the Boat Comes In<br />
Introducing ‘Mr Fish’, Kevin Hanger; fresh, local fish direct to your door<br />
You could say I’ve always loved the sea, from fishing<br />
as a boy to enjoying spearfishing around local areas<br />
and further field later in life. Having spent 22 years<br />
working in the building industry, I found myself looking<br />
for a change. Someone told me when you do what you<br />
love you’ll never work again, so I followed my dreams<br />
and, three years ago, became a commercial fisherman. I<br />
invested in a boat, took and passed all the qualifications<br />
to become a captain, and never looked back. Even the<br />
early mornings and 12-hour days can’t put me off!<br />
My boat, Shearwater, is docked in Weymouth Harbour,<br />
and I primarily fish for bass and shellfish. All my fish<br />
is sustainably line caught and, although I sell to the<br />
market, I find it most rewarding to sell fish to my fellow<br />
Dorset residents.<br />
