The bright red building on the harbour front isn't just a pretty face.  Inside is a very recommended museum.  Interesting and enjoyable for all ages, it covers a wide variety of fishing and ocean topics, as well as housing a small aquarium.  There are two beautifully maintained ships to explore, and a humbling memorial to those lost at sea.
