RIDGEFIELD, Conn. — The fruits of the sea — whether lobster or mussel, bluefish or clam — must be hauled from Long Island boats if they are to be sold at a farmers market here.

Approval of the amendment, proposed by Town Planner Betty Brosius, would have allowed the sale of "fish and seafood from the waters of New England.''
Commission members argued that the farmers market regulations specifically limit the offerings in those markets to what is grown in Connecticut or New York.
