ROCKLAND, Maine — One of the last large seafood processing plants in a city once known for them is laying off its 20-person work force and apparently shutting down its facility.
Oak Island Seafood in Rockland is “changing direction” but not closing entirely, according to a man who answered the phone at the company Thursday afternoon.
Repeated attempts Thursday to speak with management to clarify its new direction were unsuccessful.
According to Oak Island Seafood’s Dow Jones description, the privately held company is a scallop and monkfish producer and is “nationally recognized” as one of Maine’s leading producers of fresh and frozen seafood.
