ALASKA IN A BOX

Alaska Crab Pot

Crab fishing in Alaska is an adrenaline-packed, high-risk venture in the frigid Bering Sea. Fishermen target Red King Crabs and Snow Crabs, prized for their delicious meat, during short, intense seasons from October to March.

Equipped with sturdy vessels, crews face grueling 18-20 hour days, hauling heavy pots from the icy depths, sorting crabs by hand. Despite the dangers—rough seas, heavy gear, and freezing temperatures—the potential for high earnings and the thrill of the catch keep them going.

Popularized by TV shows like "Deadliest Catch," this dangerous yet rewarding profession captures the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of one of the ocean’s most valuable bounties.
