I like that show and watched several of the episodes.
Crazy shit.... tough job waking up in the morning wondering if you will make it through the day alive.
Now I know why Red Lobster whacks me 10 bucks to add a 1/2 lb. of king crab legs to my meal.
Those guys bust their asses, but I think they make a shitload of dough doing it. Kinda like the ole piece rate in the sweatshops. Filling pots, making $$$$, no crabs, no $$$$$.

I watched a bit of that show today. I wonder if the fisherman get to bring Crab back to their families. That would be some good eating. I know one thing is for sure, that shit looks dangerous as hell.

I must say Kneifl, in my book, there is no better eating than a big ass plate of crustacean. I think that 1/2 lb. of king crab at the red lobster consists of one claw and 2 legs for 9.99. On the one episode of deadliest catch they said they averaged about 3 -4 bucks per king crab (thats the WHOLE CRAB) so from sea to dinner plate, figure out that markup.
I'm in the wrong buisness..... hell lets buy a boat and some pots, tell the ole ladies to scram and start living the "high life" :00hour :00hour
