A Martha's Vineyard fudge shop just got national recognition on Good Morning America for its "Shark Bite Fudge."

Without a doubt, the Vineyard and many of its businesses are going all in for the Jaws 50th anniversary, with everything from jewelry to donuts and even fudge.

Good Morning America recently did a feature live from the Vineyard and shared many of the Jaws-themed items created and sold by the local businesses.
