I used to joke that once we got to Maine we'd try to find a community-supported fishing operation -- like community-supported agriculture, except that you get a share of every catch. Well, it turns out to be true, kind of:

For $2,995 a year, customers buy the rights to all the lobsters caught in a designated trap off the rocky Maine coast — at least 40 a season, probably more — and have them shipped whenever and wherever they want.

Two owners of a seafood restaurant here in Portland figured out how to do it and were written up by the Associated Press.
