Toughest job I ever had. 6 hours on, 6 off, around the clock for 15-18 days straight, wind, ice, fog, high seas, no breaks. Thats me in the orange Helly Hansens! Thats a good tow of scallops on deck💰💰

My brother-in-law worked on a crabbing boat said that although it payed very good the work was not only demanding but very dangerous.

That was a hard story to read.  Seafood tastes good but it sure comes at a cost.  R.I.P.
