We used to go to an old Gov't. wharf In Sydney and drop an old bicycle rim with a burlap sack covering the hole where the spokes used to be. A fish head or some such was attached to the burlap and the unit was dropped into the water by four lines attached to the unit.<br /><br />After a while the unit was raised and the shrimp were dumped into a bucket of sea water. This was repeated until there was enough shrimp to feed all who were present. The shrimp were then boiled in sea water and served up with home made french fried potatoes. Delicious.<br /><br />Thanks for the memory Syd.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929609187341391412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-43025744758772952152010-09-17T07:56:52.907-04:002010-09-17T07:56:52.907-04:00I love shrimp!

I do...I love the vision of the spiritual cast net!<br /><br />I don't think shrimp fishing is a big tradition here on the west coast of Canada. As an aside, our salmon, especially sockeye, owes its ruby red flesh to eating shrimp. The flesh of farmed salmon is trout-white, so they are fed dyed pellets to mimic the red colour.Quillsidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-16167125460765438492010-09-16T02:07:50.307-04:002010-09-16T02:07:50.307-04:00Loved your friend's comment - I'm going to...Loved your friend's comment - I'm going to try to remember that.<br />thanks, Syd.TAAAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607602088454891329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-13898387568172632792010-09-16T00:13:40.764-04:002010-09-16T00:13:40.764-04:00Nice share,thank you :)Nice share,thank you :)Tabitha.Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07462651710980805568noreply@blogger.com
