This book is about the life and times of a fishing captain from Long Island, New York. From the 1960s - 1970s, Capt. Pete Breitung fished the east coast of the United States. He also opened a floating fish restaurant docking on the North Shore of Long Island in Port Jefferson Harbor. This book includes my recollections of the adventures working with and for Capt. Pete as a teenager.
