Our friends in the village Rick and Lynn own and run the Dartmouth Crab Company and they have eleven boats of vastly differing sizes with the larger one's away for weeks at a time and landing in EU.
The local one's are all landing Octopus at the moment as the sea temperature is high still, once it drops back the Octopus will travel South.
The boys bait the pots the crabs find it but then the Octopus slithers in devours the crab and no exit which is great news as Octopus is selling at a far higher market value per Kg than crab.
It all goes to foreign parts where they actually eat this disgusting stuff.
The restaurants that are after crab are SOL right now..

I do like a dressed crab, one of my personal treats ... when I first moved to the NE of Scotland 35 years ago they were in all the fish-shops ... now there's not one in Fraserburgh that does them in spite of the fishing harbour ... guess they're too labour intensive these days.
