Industrial Crab Cooker- Kelly’s Fish House Naples Fl

They can cook up to 500 pounds of crab claws in this industrial cooker.  At first I thought they cooked the entire crab but they rip the claws off and cook only the claws and toss the crab back to the ocean to regenerate new claws.  A half ton winch lowers and raises the boiling container out of the vat. 

Video coming up tonight at 5:00PM

Kely’s Fish House, Naples, Fla

Whenever I go on vacation I try to get down to the commercial docks to talk to fishermen or fish dealers.  Kelly’s Fish House is just down the street from my parents crib so I swing by there when I’m in Naples to see what’s up.

Here is Keith working.  I got a couple interviews to share with you guys from Kelly’s to share with you once I edit them.

This is a conveyor that boats pull up to and offload their catch.  There is only a three foot tide in Naples so they don’t have the much larger swings in tide like our 9-10 foot tides in Gloucester.  I was shocked that they don’t have a take out boom but they don’t need it.  The conveyor works out just fine for them.

Naples Longliner Donna Marie Longline Set Up

The heavy monofilament line is wrapped around the spool.  It goes up and through the blocks and out the stern of the boat with clips of mono and individual hooks on them.  Hopefully each hook has a fish on it!

As always with any of the pictures on the blog if you click on them it will bring you to the flicker page where it is hosted. There you can select the option “all sizes” above the picture for the full size version in which you can see the pictures full size and in greater clarity.

The Donna Marie- Naples Longliner

Other than the obvious hauling and setting from the stern of the boat can any of our commercial fishermen readers comment on any other differences between how they longline out of Naples versus Gloucester?

Longlining explained aboard the Donna Marie.  For any commercial longliners that watch the video feel free to jump in and correct any of my mistakes from the video.  I’m not a fisherman but would like this to be as acuurate as possible.  Just leave a comment below the video if you would.

Who else wants to see a bunch of broads rolling around on skates at high speed trying to take each other’s heads off?

Besides me that is, lol.

Dames interviewed on GoodMorningGloucester

Sure there was other press there. Sure they had fancier cameras with big huge ginormous lenses and fancy flash set ups. Ya think they got the in depth personal interviews that we did?

Hell no. These shmoes are content taking pictures from 50 feet while we get up close and personal for the personal side of things.

Maybe they take nicer pictures from a thousand feet away but I’ll tell you what. I’ll take my video and interviewing skills and put them up against anyone. So go ahead all you photographers out there, stay back at a safe distance while we here at GMG get you inside the action down on the floor and in the subjects grill.

That’s what I’m talkin ’bout sucka!

Ask Fevah, she’ll tell ya who got the scoop!
