Matthew Barr interviewed Jeremy Edens for the "Wild Caught" oral history project. Edens discusses his family's long-standing involvement in the fishing industry, tracing back to his great-grandfather, who started the family fish house business around 1925. Edens describes growing up in the fishing community, working in the family business from a young age, and eventually taking on more responsibilities after graduating high school in 1995. He discusses the decline in local shrimping and the impact of imported seafood on the domestic market. Edens notes that the rising real estate prices have pressured many family-run fish houses to sell their properties. He explains that his family decided to put their fish house on the market due to the unsustainable competition from imports and the skyrocketing real estate values. Edens elaborates on the evolution of the family business, mentioning various operations they had in different locations, including Florida and Harkers Island. He describes the broader trends affecting the fishing industry nationwide, including the economic pressures forcing many fish houses to close and the shift towards real estate development on waterfront properties. Edens expresses concern about the future of the fishing community, noting the lack of young people entering the industry and the challenges faced by those who remain, such as the high costs of fuel and production. The interview also highlights the social dynamics of Sneads Ferry, with Edens emphasizing the close-knit nature of the community. He shares anecdotes about community support during difficult times, such as fundraising efforts following a family tragedy.
