  • CHATHAM -- 120511 -- Commercial fisherman Chris Fontaine of Chatham digs up steamers for dinner with his daughters Christiana, 10, center, and Rabecca Fontaine, 9, and stepson Maddy White, 9, left, near the Fish Pier.

They said they are voting to decide between tacos and burgers. Cape Cod Times/Christine Hochkeppel 120511ch01
