Edgartown Seafood, Soigne Reopen

Two of Edgartown's longtime food businesses are back from their late-winter breaks and ready to serve.

The fish market is currently open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Up-Island Businesses Hang On Through Winter

What off-season? Chilmark Chocolates is open through Feb. 17 and Menemsha Fish Market is selling and serving seafood daily.

Fish for Tuesday You've got to hand it to Stanley Larsen. Even in the depths of a Martha's Vineyard winter, he's kept the doors open at Menemsha Fish Market (formerly Poole's), selling seafood and a surprisingly diverse menu of carry-out meals.

Ask for it by name Linda Thompson of Chilmark drove to the fish market for a delicacy that isn't on the fish market's menu. Thompson calls it "Half and Half," a straightforward name for her preferred 50-50 mixture of Larsen's clam chowder and his lobster bisque. Combining…
