Doesn't matter. In the years when I pursued them.....mostly the early 60s
through mid 70s.....the stench of millions of tons of rotting alewives

Many a fine memory of same. Sitting on the 'horseshoe' at Montrose harbor
with Dad at 3 AM. The horrible stench of the alewives was easily drowned out

Thanks for the flashback...
