The Ocean Alphabet was Jerry Pallotta's first book (published 1986), and def' has some out-of-the-gate charm. Pallotta is from the Boston area and the draw of this book is the region specfic intel'. Wild to see/think of the change in fish stats since 1980s too... BTW can anyone see the word quahog and not think of Family Guy?
Redfish; used by lobstermen as bait in earlier years,
but herring preferred now I understand.
Read the whole thing at googlebooks.
