Just shy of 10,000 pounds of live Newfoundland and Labrador lobster were flown direct from Gander to Madrid last week — a first for the province's fishing industry, according to one exporter.
Darrell Roche, president and CEO of Whitecap International Seafood Exporters, called it a big step forward for the sector as a whole.
"It's the first time that we've had enough volume that we felt comfortable that we can support such a program," Roche told Radio-Canada on Monday.
