Hungry? May I Suggest a Soup Kitchen

Dude threw a shoe box sized wire cage with a raw chicken leg in it off a pier in Jersey City into the Hudson River. Looking to score some crab, this guy was all business. He was working the length of the pier with 4-5 cages. His goal was to haul in 2 pounds of crab - about 32 of these little guys. Now, some might call this NJ version of "Deadliest Catch" - and not because this guy was risking life on a boat is sub-zero temperatures. This fisherman was probably going to die if he ate one of these mercury laden crabs he pulled from the bowels of the Hudson.



Let me paint a picture with words of the Hudson from Jersey City. Beautiful skyline views of New York City, great sunrises in the morning. At low tide rub Gorgonzola cheese under your nose so you can actually stand the stench that comes from the river. The river is cleaner than it has ever been - that's like saying a hooker is as clean as she's ever been since she became a born again Christian.



A gentleman walks up to the fisherman and asks what he's looking to catch. Fisherman shows him the crabs he's hauled in thus far including one that only has one claw. "He must have pinched something hard to lose that claw.” Or the mercury his mother digested while he was just a wee crab caused a birth defect is more like it. The best line from the fisherman was, "This is what they make them crab cakes out of down there in Maryland.” Yeah minus the herbs, spices, and chemicals from the Hudson.
