Top Stories Oakland

Pixel Vision has the skinny on how you can soon be casting wide nets and cracking open exoskeletons:

[T]he Bay Area possesses many charms, and primary among these is the
sheer fertility of the ecosystem we live in. Particularly when it is
producing things I can eat. On Saturday, the National Park Service will
be schooling hungry people on this glory of nature. Namely on how to
catch your very own crabs in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge.
There will be a 15-minute demonstration on how to use a crabbing net
(nets provided) as well as on which crabbies can come home with you and
which will live to pinch another day (rock and red crabs = all yours,
dungeness = their life, their love, and their lady is the sea).

After the quick lesson you’ll have the next hour and a forty five to
mess with your new favorite hobby, smiling dreamily over thoughts of
bouillabaisse and etoufees. And you will have a new dinner option on
the table, as the Fort Point pier is open for permit-free public
crabbing 24/7. Just cross your fingers that our crabby friends haven’t
shared the fate of their herring brethren, whom recent studies suggest have been adversely affected by the 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill. Dang polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons!
