Think about that, there are people out there risking their lives to ensure we get to eat crab legs. I suppose that's why it costs more than most of the other entrées on the menu. I realize high compensation helps offset the risks, but someone still potentially died for the food sitting on the table before you. Doesn't that seem ridiculous?

Crabbing comes in 5th overall in total number of deaths per year. |
I don't remember the last time anyone died preparing my combo plate at a Mexican restaurant. "Oh, one of the line cooks has a terminal disease," said the waiter. "Nope, not good enough. I want him trampled by the beast that will become my carne asada," proclaimed the diner.
Therefore, because of price and prestige, I would like to know how many people died in the preparation of my meal. I think it's the least we can do for the deceased.

This picture has nothing to do with the story. |
"Sir, here is your King Crab platter with extreme stuffed potato skins. A man named Jeremy fell overboard into the chilly Alaskan waters. He was overcome by hypothermia and his body now resides at the bottom of the Bearing Sea. This meal before you is more than delicious, but also a monument to a man," said the waiter. "Splendid, where is my side of ranch?" I reply.
There were 32 fatalities in the Crabbing/Fishing industry in 2012. That number remains constant and only slightly fluctuates from year to year.
