Notes
In 1931, two local men, Jacques Goyetche and Andre Samson, convinced the fishermen of Petit de Grat to form a cooperative, the Richmond Shore Fish Limited. This small industry did heavy trade in dry fish and purchased a great deal of fish from the local fishermen. But after a few years of inactivity, the establishment was sold in 1950 to Booth's Fisheries, a company based in Chicago. After being destroyed by fire and rebuilt the same year, the company continued to create a large number of jobs for local residents for 25 years. In 1975, the plant was bought by Richmond Fisheries and ran it until the early 90s when it was shut down.
