In Mobile and vicinity more than two hundred workers live along the bay shores during summer. They gather soft shell and hard shell crabs, spear flounders, and sell to restaurants, hotels, and locals. Prices range from 15 to 80 cents per dozen for crabs and up to a dollar for soft shells. The trade supports families, with lights, torches, and simple outfits as they work at night in shallow waters. Flounders are speared by experts using eye sight to locate them as they bury in sand.
