MUMBO'S IN NEW YORK ???

[Crabber Joe]

There is Mumbo Crabs (Whales) in da Hudson River and there is money to be made from MD crab suppliers buying them up.... Read This!

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK
8/8 - Nyack, HRM 27: At the annual Crabs & Concert event I delighted in telling the crowd that seafood dealers in Maryland and Virginia will happily buy every Hudson River blue crab they can get their hands on. When I picked up five bushels of the Hudson’s finest this afternoon, Captain Bob Gabrielson refreshed my memory: “They drive up to get them, they bring me bushel baskets, and they pay me on the spot. Last week the driver told me he hadn’t seen crabs like these since he was a kid. And when I showed him a bushel of whales, he said those would fetch $150.00 a basket in Maryland.” About six hours later, that driver drove his truck under a sign that reads “Crisfield, Maryland, Blue Crab Capital of the World.” The Hudson blue crabs would be steamed and served to seafood lovers, including many Hudson Valley residents who could catch their own any day of the week.

No matter Ronnie they still take um, this guy was moving over 100 bushels a week to Maryland & Va fish dealers last year..... even though the NY DEC has an adverisery saying not to eat more than 6 crabs a week from that river and zero from waters around newark NJ... yet the trucks keep coming for them, me I'd never eat even one....

LOL I like that Joe, you don't need an X-Ray when you go to the Dr. Hey like the carting business, get it out who cares where it goes as long as it is not in your back yard.

Me either,

That's nasty. Crabs generally can swim out of the nasty stuff, unless it contains some "good eats".  Oysters and clams who can't move don't far so well. Here in NC, if there is a spill, or to much rain the y will shut down areas to clamming and oystering even if ya own the bed they came from. CrabberJoe I heard the same thing about the crabs up there being sent south, besides as many orientals are up there they prefer #3's I have a friend that he and his father both crab potted up there back in 2002/2003 after they had crabbed down in SC/Ga. Did it for a month and came back to NC to drop net. They said the guys at the dock in NY would unload the boat for ya as well so you did'nt have to truck them around town.
