Salt of the Earth Hi Ron: While on a visit to NL in the summer of 2012 my wife and I were driving around Conception Bay looking for fresh cod fillets. They are not too readily available in NS where haddock is most common. We saw a sign on the road advertising them outside the Independent Fish Harvesters processing plant near Brigus, so we stopped to check it out. There behind the building was a most interesting sight. The place was alive with activity, men and women busily involved removing fresh fish from totes for processing (photo). What struck us most was the wonderful cherry dispositions and smiles that greeted us, and their willingness to help. Where else would you find such a happy group of workers? They are the “salt of the earth”. Now I understand what those “come from aways” mean when they talk enthusiastically about NL hospitality. Needless to say we did purchase some fresh fillets and had them the next day for dinner. Yum yum, some good. I was so impressed I fired off an email to Mr Hiscock the plant manager.
