We got them up around Waldron Island but never of a size we would consider eating. Reading about it they are called a few things, tuna crab, langostilla, pelagic red crab. What is odd is they are pelagic so are suspended in the water column so I always felt it was weird to get them in shrimp pots.

Must be the secret bait.

SHHHH!   :chuckle:

Love finding all the strange stuff. I'm planning on making a shirt that says "I Catch Weird Ship" with drawings of stuff. I caught a blood star a couple weeks ago.

Very cool catch! I got a sea cucumber in a crab pot this year. It was surprisingly tasty.

We would catch similar critters in SE AK and was told to call them scampi  :dunno:  Never ate them but they were pretty small. Always amazing what you might get in a pot out of the deep.

Sea cucumbers are tasty, radial muscles are similar to clam strips when cooked right. Commercial fished for them for a number of years. Never ate the skins, but very popular in some Asian cultures.

I've eaten a few deep fried Sea Cukes, tasty, but too much work. I only cook them for effect any more.  :chuckle:

How well does that work on a crustacean? I'm assuming you can't ever remove it from the alcohol?

You can remove for short observation periods. Alcohol does tend to pull the pink fats out of shellfish though.
