This is the boat that built the business. Hi-Gear is a 35`foot aluminum
displacement Vessel. Although she no longer actively fishes crabs she is federally and
provincially licensed and serves as our floating dock sales platform at
Fisherman`s Wharf in Victoria.

Ready for work...

The interior of our new refrigerated delivery vehicle. All surfaces are
food grade. The vehicle is licensed provincially with a fish buying station
license. The refrigeration unit is essential in the warmer months as we like
to keep our animals at 5 degrees C.

This is our small, portable tank. It can keep 250 lbs live for extended
periods. This unit can be picked up with a forklift, placed on a truck and
used in trade shows, retail situations or for picking up live products from
up island.

This how a Dungeness crab looks when he is smiling...

The flip side. This is a male crab. Only male crabs >165mm in carapace
width are allowed to be harvested. You can tell the difference by the
V-shaped flap in the center of the crab. A female's flap is shaped like a
beehive and supports the eggs during spawning.

Here we have some Dungeness waiting to be shipped in our food grade
containers. Those with a keen eye will notice that these are in fact culls.
If you look closely you will notice that they are missing a claw. An
economical way to treat yourself to the best.
