Unlike Tater Day (or any other festival in the lower 48), Crab Fest features a Coast Guard rescue demonstration
Alaska king crab
Jack, Tanisha, Hannah and Andrea-don't they look happy?
Mouth-watering Alaska Scallops
Why, yes! They were quite yummy...all bacon wrapped with pesto sauce :)
Then there was the intense Survival Suit Race
Kids hunting for $1000 worth of change in sawdust (I mean, really?)
Sea creatures... Oh, and an octopus made out of recycled beach trash too :)
Me and my fisherman friend, Jay
And the highlight, according to my brother and various others I know who are taken with the show...
For those of you who may not be avid winter crab fishing fans, the Cornelia Marie was on Deadliest Catch through last season until the skipper sadly passed away
Sorry, Kentucky peeps...Crab Fest has Tater Day beat by a long shot in my book!
