Crockett Cataloni and twins Jimmy and Andy DiMattia have purchased Edgartown Seafood from Danny Larsen, following his 36-year tenure behind the counter.

Danny Louis Larsen, 62, of Edgartown has reason to be surprised by his own success. When he started Edgartown Seafood 25 years ago, Mr. Larsen knew fish, but he wasn’t sure about retail.

“I didn’t think I would like it,” he said. “I didn’t think I’d be able to deal with the people. I didn’t think they’d be able to deal with me.”
