Anybody watching it?

It's a great documentary series on the Alaskan crab industry.

Really interesting.

I watched it last season and caught it for the first time (this season) last
night.

Some pretty tough and dangerous work, but well suited for those folks who
only want to work 3 days out of the year (18 hour days) and then relax for
3-6 months.

They get $5/lb wholesale for that king crab. Around here it goes retail
(frozen) for about $20 ~ $25/lb.

Heck Lake Erie perch is at $16/lb and is a lot safer (and more fun) to
catch. But I have never seen a 150,000 lb catch of perch from one boat,
especially in only 3 days.. ;-)
