Crab and Lobster Season, Caraquet, New Brunswick

In Caraquet, the start of both crab and lobster fishing is eagerly awaited by the town. The boats all race to their spots and both separate seasons have a pagentry about them. The boats have quotas for how much they can bring back, but those that find the best spots for traps finish faster, with fewer trips and less expense.

Many of those that gathered to watch are retired fishermen and families of the current crews.  Tasting the fresh catch is quite a treat
