Meanwhile, in the sea off Yeongheung Island in the West Sea, crab fishing is in full swing in the bitter cold. Fishermen here use traps to catch crabs. All work is divided into tasks, from taking crabs out of the traps, cutting the crab claws, replacing the trap bait, and putting the traps back into the sea, so communication between workers is especially important. Once work begins, the work continues without rest until all 100 traps connected to one line are checked. The fishing that starts like this does not end until 30 lines and a total of 3,000 traps are checked each day, moving to different locations. Unlike the male crabs in the fall, the crabs caught in early winter are mostly female crabs, full of meat and eggs, and are delicious. However, in order to get a fair price for the hard work, it is important to keep them in good condition. In order to prevent crabs from fighting each other and losing their legs, which reduces their commercial value, the lower part of the claws of all crabs is cut off. If you cut them all day, your waist and fingers may become numb. Crabs that can be enjoyed until December. However, since it is unknown when the fishing will end, the sailors continue fishing even in the rainy weather today to catch at least one more crab. ※ Extreme Job - Early Winter Sea Delicacies!
