I clean up the blue crabs with this combo in Virginia in the Chesapeake every Summer.


I have the circular traps that lay flat on the bottom...I don't exactly clean up on them, but I do usually catch a few and always catch a buzz.

The Octopuses are just as likely to eat more clams and other shelled animals then blue crabs. They don't like warm water, which is why there are blue crab in the first place.


Yup. And clams put up way less of a fight than those little bastard blue crabs.

Regardless of their nationality or profession, you probably shouldn't be eating people.

Italian baws who know what’s up about to have twice the seafood.


I read an article on this not too long ago and the Italians don’t even like them to consume. They’re considered a trash byproduct of fishing and are insanely cheap if they’re even sold.

I laughed at the same thing...the article literally says:

1) They came over accidentally on ships
2) They don't have a natural predator so can multiply unchecked

But the conclusion is
- Climate change


That's some fancy liberal logic right there. Al Gore and the little doom goblin would be proud.

I can't eat octopus anymore after learning how smart they are. Things have really good memories and emotions. They grieve the dead. It's wild. Like eating a German Shepherd. Used to love it.



Better put down that Boudin, Baw!


Pigs grieve. Pigs can form deep, affectionate bonds with their owners that closely resemble the love and loyalty shown by dogs. Pigs are vert social and emotional and often consider their human caregivers as part of the family.
