Market pair see livelihood where patrons sea food PERSPECTIVES By Paul Gauvin pgauvin@barnstablepatriot.com PAUL GAUVIN PHOTOS SEVENTH YEAR - Osterville Fish has been serving Osterville and surrounding villages for seven years. She started out in Bos- ton with two paper routes when she was 9. That was two years after her mom died. Much later, her career literally hit "rock bottom" when she moved to Plymouth, then hopped to the top on Cape Cod. It was about 8:30 a.m. on the hottest day of the summer last week. Debbie Halbert, who is no fish out of water, had just finished icing the display case at the Osterville Fish Market at Keston's Corner on Route 28 and was lining the perim- eters of frosty trays with "curly tail" -the decorative green leaf that looks like parsley. During the next 15 min- utes, as a large noisy fan whirred heat out of the building, she would deftly decorate the display case with a few quahogs here, a couple of Prince Edward Is- land mussels and crab cakes there, and fill the frosted pans with the day's assort- ment of fresh fish. Before 10 a.m., when the place opens for business, i NEW DAY-Debbie Halbert M prepares display case M before opening Osterville M Fishat Kesten'sCornerat M the intersection of Route ¦ 28 and Osterville/West j^H Barnstable Road. ¦ she would go to the kitchen to prime the stoves for another day of cooking and catering to Osterville'spal- ate de poisson. Later in the day her work station by the stoves will reach in excess of 100 degrees while folks outside complain about a 95-degree record for the day. No big deal: "You just get used to it," she says with a sincere smile. She would lift heavy items and perform myriad tasks while discussing her rise from worker, then manager at Rock Bottom Seafood in Plymouth, to co-owner of the Osterville Fish Market. Then at 10 a.m. she would flip the "closed" sign from the front window and be- , gin Phase II of the long i day's labors -in total J putting in another M grueling 13- to ^ t K k \ \ 17-hour shift .^fl - a relent less seven- day A rit- A ual during the summer season when business, like the weather, is hot. "It's hard work but it's a lot of fun, though. You have to like it. It depends on your personality. I'm the kind of person - and so is Paul (Dean), my partner -who can't sit still." She and Dean have owned and operated Osterville Fish for seven years, she said, and have developed the business by cultivating a substantial local customer base of repeat ^ jf — W—— ^ patrons from ^. Osterville Bj sur- HjB^ s^BJBJ? rounding p -s ^ jF villages 1 and, in the summer season, the tourists. "One Osterville summer resident orders 30 lobsters every July 4 for the last six years. We cook the lobsters here and crack them and they're ready to eat when they pick them up. We have quite a few orders like that. Is isn't unusual for some of our customers to order 20 cooked lobsters." "What's nice is that mem- bers of that family will come in the following week and say, 'Oh, it was so great!'"
