I just don’t know how all these top chefs, restaurants and regular folks are missing the great deals on crabmeat right now. I have not seen prices like this in May in over 30 years. Regular backfin $20, lump $25 and jumbo lump $35. Ridiculous. Crab populations are very cyclical in nature and it appears we are having a boom cycle so take advantage of it. Talk local? Then buy local. Come on folks. Support working watermen and women. . . #Crab #crabs #crabmeat #ESVA #ChesapeakeBay #NCseafood #watermen #CommercialFishing #SupportItOrImportIt
“Lynnhaven” Friday April 19th the premier showing of this short film will take place at The Zeider’s American Dream Theater in Virginia Beach. This film has been a 30 dream of mine made into a reality by film maker and VB native Lizzie Bankowski and @jpixx Lizzie created the concept, message and final product. The film discusses the issues surrounding seafood, watermen and restaurants in Virginia Beach, a city surrounded by and surrounding salt water. How is it that a majority of the seafood consumed in this seaside city is harvested, landed, or grown outside of her ports? This short documentary opens the door to a larger discussion of the truth in seafood, ingredients and what really is “local” in Virginia Beach. Come out and support @lizziebank @jpixx and the Lynnhaven. . . . #LynnhavenRiver #seafood #ThisIsVaBeach #local #VBLocal #fish #fishing #crabs #oysters #CommercialFishing #SupportItOrImportIt @instantcrassic #harvest #SevenCitiesShortFilmShowcase #CrabPicking #SteamedCrabs #OldBay #beer #vinegar
Well it’s that time of year again: crab season has begun and with it come the back porch feasts and soft crab sandwiches. The commercial waterman is a hero again albeit for just a few months. But where has he been all winter? “Drudging” or tonging oysters probably. He may have been in the rough and treacherous ocean catching dogfish to go overseas for meals of fish & chips in Europe. Or he may have been stuck in meetings with government officials from NOAA, VMRC, ASMFC, NCMF or NMFS fighting for his ability to work and way of life. So when you eat that soft crab try to think just a little about where it came from. This great catch by local waterman Mark Sanford who stopped to talk with me and my tour guests last week. .
