This past April, we saw crab nets on a wharf at the western tip of Prince Edward Island, waiting for the season to begin.
At that time, there was ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
delaying the season on the north shore.
Recently we visited Victoria by the Sea on the south coast of the island where crab fishers were unloading their catch of the day.
Workers weighed the boxes of crab and loaded it for transport.
Meanwhile, fisheries officers selected random boxes of crab to measure the bodies and ensure the catch met the size limit for the industry.
We bought snow crab at the local fish market on the way home. Yummy!

Those big basket traps look interesting.
Well, there's definitely no question as to how fresh your crab dinner was. :-)
Can't get fresher than that Marie 😊 So good that the Fishery management check for size, they're really strict on that here too.
An interesting peek into the PEI fishing industry.
I am glad that the small ones do not get eaten. I like crab if someone prepares it for me, but I cannot be bothered to serve up my own. Have a good week, Diane
love love LOVE crab!
From boat to table!
They are so good!
Yum! Can't get any fresher than that. Nice photos, Marie.
Great photos. I am so glad that random checks are in place.
Another interesting post ! A good friend is on a road trip and the furthest north she is going in Price Edward Island. I can't wait to have her come home and share her ideas of your lovely area.
You've made me want crab legs! YUM!

I didn’t realize they were so big either Debra.
How true Jan.
Management of the resource is so important Grace.
I was glad to see the elements of the crab industry AC.
I like when someone else prepares it too Diane.

True William.
So much flavour Catarina.
Thank you Bill.
Fisheries management is crucial EC.
I hope your friends enjoys our lovely island Ginnie.
They are sooo good, Danielle.
I much prefer it to beef Jenn.
The answer is no to anything better Debbie.
I read that the government here won't let the usual immigrants in to sort the crab. This is awful for us.
There are people who come here for the summer to work in fish plants too, Mage.
