Wednesday 8th July, Whittier: shrimping
Bud and Carol (owners of the Icecream shop in Girdwood and Bud & Carol’s B&B) take us shrimping in Whittier. 7am start. Out to the submerged pots on Bud and Carol’s boat. Lift up pot. Shake out. Then behead and count shrimps.
It’s all about the technique people… you hold the live shrimp with the right thumb at the top of its chest, then twist of its head with the left hand and throw it back into the sea.
Am curiously delighted with my brush with killing live beasts. They’ll make an Alaskan of me yet.
150 of the enormous suckers. Saweet.
