In Hancock County, Maine, which is where the publicity for the show placed Collinsport, there are numerous types of sea life. Lobster and Crab, some shrimp, deep water flounder, haddock, and other varieties of whitefish would be harvested. Lobstering with traps would be very common in the coastal waters nearer to the shore. Sardines are always a staple of canneries, so the Collinses would be interested in net fishing, as well. Scallops can be taken by divers or by dragnets. Clams are dug out of the shoreline mud flats by hand, with a rake.
