King crabs
on: October 04, 2024, 03:12:16 PM
A bit of king crab fishing. Decent sized ones.

With a price of USD80 per kilo those would have been worth a fair bit commercially for all of 2 hours work or so including transport time. I should just stop whatever I'm doing and get a commercial boat...  :facepalm:

Edit: For scale a 91mm Victorinox would be about the size of a front claw part.

I would be lying if I didn't say I also haven't considered getting on a crab or lobster boat a time or two myself. 

If only I wasn't so deathly afraid of the ocean.   :facepalm:

If only I liked seafood.   :facepalm:

A crab or lobster boat would have been great! We just threw a small king crab trap overboard from a small normal boat. Turned out we couldn't get it back on board the day after, so we had to limp all the way back to land with it dragging along on the outside of the boat. I was deemed most qualified and given the esteemed job of being counterweight and standing on the opposite side of the boat so we wouldn't keep driving in a ring... Someone watching might have called it a total clustersmurf but I prefer to keep focus on the result..

Sounds like a sensible attitude. It should be taken seriously.

I'm even allergic to crabs. I end up with dots all over. Still, others love them, so worthwhile catch.

“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. So do not take the lecture too seriously, feeling that you really have to understand in terms of some model what I am going to describe, but just relax and enjoy it. I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing." Richard Feynman, 1964, MIT.

"Hey, see those giant spiders that smell like death?  Let's eat them!"

If they smell like death they might have been dead too long to eat.. There are big differences in how fast various seafood species will go bad, and that includes some species that are delicious when fresh but which goes bad in only a day or three. That is typically faster than they can be distributed from say fisherman to some restaurant or shop far away, and you end up with confusion about why some think they are good as most people will have been served them too late for good quality. It is often connected with fat levels of the meat as fatter seafood tend to go rancid faster. Anyway...

In the same line of reasoning I've often wondered about milk. How many animals did they try before discovering that cows turned out to be fairly open to the idea? I imagine some rather upset moose, moskox, horses, elephants, bears and what not. Not easy being a food pioneer back in the day..
