A crab unlike any you’ve ever seen has been pulled from the Chesapeake Bay
She’s a large blue crab from the Chesapeake Bay with a sight impairment — she has two oysters growing on either side of her head near her eyes.
The crab is estimated to be about 2 years old and was found last week in a crab pot that belonged to the mayor of Tangier Island.
The mayor — James “Ooker” Eskridge — couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. As of Wednesday, wildlife experts at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation said the crab was still alive.
Watermen and wildlife experts said she’s unique, and there’s a tale of how she got stuck with two oysters on her head.
Now the damn Russians are screwing with our seafood.....what the hell is this world coming to????
ReplyDeleteHe got a ticket because the oysters were undersized, out of season, and in an oyster sanctuary.
