Dutch Harbor stock footage - Outtakes from a film I'm making from Dennis Zaki on Vimeo.
Dennis has been working on a film out in Dutch Harbor, Alaska recently and this is some of the gorgeous footage that he uploaded for me to share with all of you.Let me know if after you watch it you have the same hankering for a crab dinner that I ended up with.
Dennis is very talented and has an eye for what makes Alaska extraordinary.

Daddy literally put Tagg on third base with the Dodgers.
If Bristol has crabs this big, she will never find a new boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Those crabs are huge!! I wouldn't want to get a finger in those snappers. Incredible harvest of food in those waters.
ReplyDeleteMy God, how I love the North. Amazing and incredible beauty. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeletePass the butter & cocktail sauce?
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely. I love the shot of the otter near the end.
ReplyDeleteIt actually makes me feel guilty to eat crab. They've been in the ocean for 15-20 years? And look how many are taken.
Is there any problem with sustainability, due to how many of these mature crabs are taken each year?
Thanks for sharing! I too had some lovely king crab over the weekend, but part of me does wonder, just like the poster above, how much we know about this animal and the actual abundance and recovery ability from our fishing activities. It's pretty hard not to succumb to the delights though, living here in AK where we can actually get it fresh frozen for only 20 bucks a pound! I admit to being a king crab fanatic, but hope I'm not destroying the population!
ReplyDeleteFor those wondering about sustainability, they only take the males that are past their prime breeding age. There are still millions of them out there and will continue to be.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dennis. I feel much better now, free to really enjoy your vision and perhaps their taste at some point. Still a little beyond my price point. But when I can afford to indulge, I won't feel guilty.
DeleteI'll take king crab over lobster anyday! Thanks for sharing the beauty of Alaska in these posts.
