Snow crab

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!
