    The turtle isn't a sea turtle. He's known locally as a mud turtle. Look closely, the fins (feet)are all wrong. The long "belt like" fish is a silver eel. They have VERY sharp teeth, scales so fine that they look like chrome.... hense, the name.

    I remeber my uncle in Australia would take me out on his Prawn trawler. He would set the nets I would fill the boil vat with sea water to cook the shrimp, mud crabs,blue crabs. Etc.
    Once we pulled the nets and did the sorting and cooked the catch salt on ice. He would make us lunch.
    Aussie spicy Prawn baggett. Fresh baggett, butter,shrimp or prawns , spicy cajun sauce lettuce and tomato. Yumm

    • @MISHA12314
      @MISHA12314 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The life is what made Forest Gump. Shrimping is a way of life. It is harder than you would ever believe. Income is sometimes non existent. Boats of any size are only owned by the wealthy or commercial fishermen. I fished for a living in the Gulf of Mexico for 20+ years. Hardships included increasing regulations, low shrimp prices, bad seasons, hurricanes, and imported fishermen with the best equipment and government loans with loan forgivness and free fuel. Commercial fishing is more knowledge intense than anything I have ever done including teaching, and working as a registered nurse. No one will tell you anything and there aren't any books about what you need to know. Most fishermen have a family heritage of it and acquire knowledge through experience... otherwise, they do not survive.
