If you've ever worked on a fishing boat, you know that your clothing doesn't have to be fancy, but you need high waterproof boots like these.
The Rappa family started serving food on the wharf in 1952 and have expanded and renovated their restaurant several times since then. We don't know if the statue of the old captain is meant to represent one of the prevous generation of fishermen from the Rappa family or not. And who knows why he is holding that red lantern ?
