Crabbing The Raritan River
« on: December 28, 2013, 07:00:15 AM »
I've been reading some "Not So good News"  about the crabs in the river, Like dont eat them.  Is that true?

We took a year off from eating any crabs at all from the state.....well I did eat two in September.

The storm changed a lot and with everything the way it is, all the years of sediment turned and washed around, there had to be some kind of affect on the shellfish if not most fish.

With that said, they probably are better then the crabs and fish we grew up eating in the 70's and 80's when so much dumping of chemicals and such was happening up the watersheds.

Remember the old Dutch Boy paint plant? 

I'm not eating any crabs from the back anytime soon... ::)
