Humboldt crabbers on strike
Kevin Pinto, a local fisherman who owns Jenna Lee’s Seafood on Woodley Island in Eureka, Calif., says the companies that purchase crab from the North Coast decided to pay a price that is lower than the fishermen would like. “They offered us a lower price down here—with stipulations it could go lower—and we decided that it probably wasn’t a good idea to fish for that,” Pinto said. The Pacific Seafood Company is one of Humboldt County’s fishermen’s buyers. Fishermen like Pinto are currently withholding their catch, hoping the companies who purchase from them will raise their price per pound of crab. Video, >>click to read<< 08:48
