Follow up to our King Crab winner

The winner of the “King Crab Christmas Feast” contest we held in December was nice enough to send us some photographs of their big family dinner.  The winner was Ferris Sanders, a loyal watcher of “Deadliest Catch” and of course a supporter of the Cornelia Marie, Capt. Phil Harris and crew.  Ferris shared the crab with her family and said they had a wonderful Christmas.

The family thanked us a lot and we appreciate it.  But, it’s us who thank them and everyone else who support our boat and the crab industry.  It’s so great that through the “Deadliest Catch” show, folks now realize what my family and others have gone through in commercial fishing in Alaska.

A big thanks also goes out to Fishex.com, who donated the crab for the contest.  If these pictures make you hungry (like me) and you want to order some crab – please check out Fishex.com.  The owner is an Alaska fishermen turned entrepreneur.  He cares about his customers and I’m happy to recommend him.

King Crab Christmas Feast Winner!

We have a winner!  I am happy to announce the winner of our “King Crab Christmas Feast”.  We had a total of 220 entries but one winner.  Her name is Ferris Sanders from Englewood, Colorado.  I just got off the phone with her and she’s very happy.  She watches Deadliest Catch with her niece and is a fan of Cornelia Marie and Capt. Phil.  I told her 20 pounds is a lot of crab to eat, but her family is coming over so she’ll have plenty of help – and I would imagine a lot of “thank yous”.  Of course, when I first told her, she didn’t believe me and said, “Get out of here!”.  Spoken like a true Cornelia Marie fan. Maybe she’ll send us a photo later.

Fishex.com will now send Ferris 20 pounds of Alaska’s best King Crab.  Fishex.com is Alaska’s premier fish market.  If you didn’t win but still desire your own King Crab Christmas feast, try fishex.com – they’re the best!

Thank you to everybody who entered the contest.  Merry Christmas to everybody from Capt. Phil, his boys Josh and Jake, the crew, Cornelia Marie and my family.

Deadliest Catch Captain fishing for a crew

King Crab Season is almost upon us.  Beginning mid September and on into October each year,  Captains and crew from the fishing fleet begin the exodus north to Alaska in the quest for gold.  Crabs to be precise, and they can be just as plentiful or elusive as the shiny nuggets coveted by early settlers during the gold rush in the Wild West.  A huge pay check is not guaranteed.

This year the Captain and Crew of the F/V Cornelia Marie are searching for a new greenhorn.  Among the qualities needed will undoubtedly be a yearning for adventure, a good sense of humor, and the ability to think fast, work hard, and just refuse to admit defeat.

It’s possible a lucky person may get the coveted brass ring and a chance to prove themselves.  Along with the chance comes a promise to be worked beyond normal endurance levels in freezing weather.  Included, too, is the possibility of vomiting unmercifully as you enjoy the most amazing sunrise one has ever seen.

Who will be the winner of the opportunity of a lifetime?  Applications are being taken ”Cornelia Marie Style”  by Captain Phil Harris along with his sons Jake and Josh.  Only those with tenacity, a strong sense of adventure, and a strong body that will keep going past the point when the mind has already thrown in the towel need apply.

Saturday August 29, Captain Phil Harris, Jake, and Josh are conducting interviews at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
