Summary

How people from Mingulay made a living from fishing.

The contributor says that he used to fish for lobsters, ling and saithe. He and the crew would live on Berneray all summer, while they were working. The fish was salted, and sold in Castlebay. The men received no pay until the end of the season but they could get anything they needed from the shop.
