‘Crabbin’ – Ltd Edition Giclée Print by Nikki Loy

Crabbin’ – A very familiar sight down at our local harbour, and probably yours too.

Watching the summer Seasiders crabbing has always filled me with mixed emotions. It looked fun of course to be the crabberman (like fisherman but for crabs??), but I feel sorry for the crabs hoiked out of the water, to spend the afternoon in a bucket and the be hurled many feet back down into the water to repeat it all again the next time. I felt they needed a protector, so I envisioned a giant crab there to snip the line and thwart the capture of the smaller less experienced little crabs.

But then the other day a fellow pointed out that maybe it was a nice game for the crabs to entertain the children, and they do at least get a free bacon dinner out of it. Hmmmm?
