The home towns of fishermen turned celebrity stars, like Richard Gillett, Conway Caines, Justin Bridger and Donald Spence, are tourist attractions. “Tourists are flocking to some of these towns where our fishermen live. They want to meet Richard, they want to meet Conway and Paul. I’ve been told that there’s been a little bump in tourism in some of these towns and that means they’re busier and can support more jobs. I’ve been told that some of the wayward sons gone off to the oil patch have come back to Twillingate to help in their parents’ fish shop. Tourists come in, buy fish and business is up.
