Fishermen landing a catch of Crabs at Magheroarty Pire (Part 3)

When I realised I was not going be able to get onto Tory Island that day and before the rest of the group arrived, I went down the Magheroarty Pier to see the fishermen landing their catch of crabs. The video at the end shows this.







I have a short video which if it does not appear below,




Hope you enjoyed seeing the crabs coming on shore.

Thank you for visiting and also many thanks to all you leave comments.

  1. It is always nice to see the sheer hard work which goes into bringing 'luxury' to us.

  2. That's a hell of a lot of pots to lift. Good to see they are landing the whole crab and not just the claws.

  3. Hi Margaret,
    Beautiful series of photos.
    The video is amazing, especially the coastline, so much space around the houses.
    Here in The Netherlands are all close together.
    Best regards, Irma

  15. This was a lot of fun to see and watch. We go crabbing in Oregon ourselves, so it is always great fun to watch the professionals at work, having some idea from personal experience of what is involved.

  17. my mother spent many happy hours catching crabs on a piece of twine with a chicken neck tied on it, she would catch 2 or 3 at a time, scoop them up with a net and dump in the bucket. that night she and daddy would put on the fire outside and get the pot boiling and i would go hide in my room because i could not stand to see them cook, nor would i eat them, and don't to this day. great shots of them and that is a lot of work getting them in for all the crab lovers in the world..
