Kingcrab Adventure

Visiting L and K's cabin in Syltefjord, they took us out catching dinner for the night - a kingcrab adventure!

The girls are fishing whilst waiting for us to return
...see you soon...
Captain K taking us out to sea 
It was freeeeeezing! Even MrC was cold!


A brief stop to fish for bait for the king crab pot
Got the bait straight away - off we go again
Beautiful landscapes in the fjord
Ok, we are here! Using hydraulics to lift
the heavy crab pot
Here it is! HEAPS of king crabs!!!
Grab a hold! Dear lord it is heavy!!!
Look at the size of them!!!
Wow! MrC is amazed!!!
This is really something!!!
Holy crab!! One of them came running
to the back snapping at my feet!! 



Heavy critters - about 5 kgs each!
Ooooops, another one out to get me!!
So many crabs! We only took a few - enough for dinner





Back at the docks after our crab adventure
Admiring the dinner pre-cooking
Besten making the girls laugh!

The girls thought the king crabs
 looked a bit scary...
Prepping for dinner
Taking off only the good bits 
Prima crab - only the legs coming
with us!

Thank you so much for your hospitality, love and excellent cooking, L and K!!! MrC thinks this was the best fishing day he has ever had! And it really was!
