About Us

The Fishermens Catch is owned and operated by Bill Coppersmith Jr and his wife, Whitney. Bill has been around seafood his whole life.  Not many people have the experience and knowledge he has about the industry. At an age he could barely hold his head up, he was out lobstering with his father in Casco Bay on his fathers second lobster boat, the Triple J. As he got older he worked full time lobstering during summer vacations, and repaired traps and built buoys at home while he was in school. Years later he worked the seafood markets that his parents owned starting from the bottom, picking lobsters for lobstermeat in the back room, to eventually purchasing the landmark red-roofed A framed building in Raymond for his own location. After some much needed remoldeling to the old building it became the Fishermens Catch, and the Galley Restaurant. Their theory is:

"If we won't eat it or sell it to my grandmother, it will not be sold through this store."

One thing we hate (ironically enough) is the smell of fish! For the people that do not know here is a little tid-bit of information:

Fresh seafood DOES NOT smell! If it does smell like fish, it is not fresh PERIOD. 

Anyone can come into the Fishermens Catch, make a purchase and your family and friends will not be able to tell where you just came from by how your clothes smell!  Our customers appreciate that, and  shop here because of that reason. They, too, hate the smell of fish and frequent us because we are the cleanest, freshest market around. Sometimes our prices are a bit higher, but all of our fish are premium cuts. Our clams, mussels, oysters and littlenecks are all put up for approval before being sold in our store. Just like anything else, you get what you pay for. Bill still lobsters in the winter during the off season traveling 60 miles southwest off the Isle of Shoals enduring big seas and cold temperatures on his father's 42 ft Bruno named the Billy&Andy.(pictured throughout the website) He truly sees lobsters from start to finish. Bill and Whitney welcome your business as new customers and appreciate the business from our faithful customers. The only seafood market in the lakes region not boringly named after the owner.
