THE FREEZE - Chapter 6: Clear Skies in the Far North - Episode 2

The crew pulls up the net that they using to try and catch the trollkrabbe and Lyria is surprised at the size of the shells they have caught. However, the fisherman on board tells them that crabs that have just molted their shells don't taste very nice. The party continues through the ice floe looking for deleicious trollkrabbe.

---

(Captain) and the crew take control of the rudder and steer the boat around laying nets to catch the Trollkrabbe.

Joel: They crab catching net we are using has been woven specially for catching huge things like the trollkrabbe.

Lyria: Wow, really? Oh, but, what about the little fishies around here?

Vane: The big fish'll get caught up in the net, wont they?

Lyria: Of course… even though we caught a lot of fish before, it wasn't exactly on purpose.

Lyria: Oh my Astral! In the net… It's huge!

Eugen: If you're talkin' 'bout fishing, I earned my stripes a long time ago, but it's not just something any old landlubber can do.

Jin: Look! That float has sunk deeply, the net must be bulging!

Lancelot: Right! Let's haul it in!

(Captain) and the crew haul up the net with practiced hands.

Ippatsu: T-that's…

Vane: CRABS! But, they're not moving…

Eugen: Hah, they're the crabs' shells that they lose after molting… But, they're huge!

Vyrn: Ew, what are all these soggy black blobs… Gross.

Soriz: Arrrrr! They're crab leech eggs! There's so many on the shells, the crabs must be stuffed with meat!

Friendly Fisherman: Aye, but just after the crabs lose their shells, their bodies be soft and watery, and taste like a bilge rat to boot…

Jin: Hmmm, so in other words?

Friendly Fisherman: The crabs who be molting lose their shells and the eggs that be stuck there at the same time, but if ye think about it in reverse…

Eugen: …the more eggs that are stuck to them, the longer its been since they molted, so the meat will be the most delicious!

Jin: So you're saying… We should aim for the crabs with the eggs stuck to them as much as possible!

Lyria: Eek!

Monster: Shraaaaaaagh!

Soriz: Avast! We be boarded!

Soriz: Let's send it back to Davy Jones' locker and then get to work on preparin' the next net, (Captain)!
