HOT WATER KILLS THESE CRITTERS.

Cockroaches, blagghh. Eating cockroches is like eating leftovers. In fact in our kitchen it’s EXACTLY like eating leftovers.

[SlapHappyPappy]

How about fishing for the damn things and seeing how they do then?

It drives me nuts when they claim an animal humans eat has “no natural predators”.

[Hugin]

RED crabs?

[Eaker]

Pass the clarified butter.

Holy crap Batman!

Dane & Eaker agree on something!

Why are you posting an article from 2004?

[MissEdie]

You beat me to it! Crab legs for everyone!!!

Send in the boys from Dagerous Catch. They’ll have the majority of that crab on diner tables within a few weeks.

***The animal’s legs are considered a delicacy and fetch top dollar in Japan and America. Even in Oslo, consumers pay around 200 Norwegian kronor (£15) a pound.

Served with bread, butter, lemon and mayonnaise, the taste and texture of the crab meat is comparable with that of the finest lobster.

One leg is enough to provide a grown man with a filling meal. ***

So, what is the problem?

“Pass the clarified butter.”

Exactly! Instead of whinning about it, they need to see this for what it is: AN OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Quick! someone get some hot water and butter & garlic!

[hoosierham]

Government is not the solution;government is the problem.

[Grunthor]

On this we agree. At some point there had to be something.

[SkyDancer]

Mmmmm - crab .....

[B-Chan]

A giant stone crab?

[nw_arizona_granny]

Are they related to the walking fish?

Let Sig Hanson and the crew of the Northwestern loose on them. He will put a big dent in them.

Your solution makes perfect sense. The fly in the ointment is the word in the first sentence: “government”. Picture the USA with the same problem and all of the agencies, bureaus, administrations and various governmental organizations this would have to be approved by, then all of the whacko special interest groups like Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, etc. not to mention PETA and ELF, who are the constituents of the whacko officials like Pelosi, Waxman, McDermot, Reid and the like, then throw in the unbalanced malcontents like Nader and Gore. It would be easier to reverse the rotation of the earth. Regardless of the cost to wildlife, the economy, the environment and mankind itself, it would never happen.

Actually I believe that in the cases of a couple of nuisance fish, No limit and no size restriction are actually the case (E.g. Snake heads in MD, Rainbow trout in Yellowstone)
