Cromer’s East

    An item here last week about Ray Samot, a well-known butcher, did not note that the meat counter he is now manning, at the new Hampton Seafood Market on Race Lane in East Hampton, is affiliated with Cromer’s Market in Noyac, where Mr. Samot had been stationed. In an e-mail to The Star, Mr. Samot expressed his enthusiasm for bringing the “hometown touch” and expertise offered at Cromer’s to the East Hampton location.
