The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 905: The Life of a Crabber · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

And so for me, it's not only selling the crab, but also the story.

So that's, like I said, you can only catch a crab once, you can sell the story time and time again.

And it also helps with the marketing of the crab, you know, and all those kinds of things.

That's what I'm doing now, really.

I mean, you know, obviously we're shooting video and things like that.

But I've kind of, it really truly kills me.

But I've had to dial my crab operation to scale it back a little bit.

You know, instead of running 1,500 pots, we're running less than 1,000 now, which is like

super bizarre to me.

I've never, I've always just gone, you know, five days a week and ran a load of gear, but now, um, there's only one of me, you know, and I got a lot of hands and a lot of things right now that I'm trying to figure out how to do and build.

Um, I've kind of, uh, lean more into the marketing side of the crabs, you know what I mean?

Selling less crabs, um, and getting better money for them, kind of premium money for them.

But it's also, you know, we sell a really good product.

And a lot of people want to, there's a certain percentage of people that are less mindful of the price if they know exactly where it's coming from.

Yeah, man.

So we kind of try to tell the story of that, a lot of transparency as to where your product comes from, what goes into catching that product, and then also giving people, you know, telling the story of the product and the people that catch it and the whole kind of how everything works.

And, you know, there's enough people out there that are, you know,

really interested in that and and they just like a good product they know our crabs come from maryland i don't buy crabs from out of state which is a real pain i know i could make a load more money if i did but i am just i'm committed to you know i'm not going to

to see people to try to make a couple extra bucks.

You know what I mean?
