Le Roux in Vineyard Haven has shark-themed kitchen items, such as bottle openers, coasters, mugs, ice cube trays, and salt and pepper shakers, to name a few. —Dena Porter

Martha’s Vineyard is buzzing with anticipation of celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Jaws” on the Island, where the blockbuster was mostly filmed.

A whole range of events is planned, including interviews with cast members and local extras, documentaries, and plenty of “Jaws” art installations — including a replica of the Orca.

But what about that swag? Where can you get yourself a tchotchke to remember the 50th? Turns out, everywhere.

Several Island stores are stocking up on all manner of “Jaws”- and shark-related items, from oversized plushies to Bruce-themed piñatas.

Photographer Dena Porter captured the shopping frenzy.
