Commercial Fishing Boats on Long Beach IslandBeach Fishing Fleet 2 Fotor

Viking Village sounds like a theme park gone medieval, but Barnegat Light, where it’s located, may be the least-known of Jersey’s six commercial fishing ports. The dock has been in business since the 1920s, when it was founded by a group of Scandinavian fishermen.

 

Viking Village did go Hollywood at one point — one of its scallop boats, the Lindsay L, was used in “The Perfect Storm’’ — but you wonder how many people on LBI, much less the rest of Jersey, know it’s even there.
