Fish Friday!Blue crabs live up and down the Atlantic Coast and are caught by both commercial and recreational fishermen. The crabs’ scientific name—Callinectes sapidus—translates from Latin to 'beautiful savory swimmer.' The blue crab’s shell—called the “carapace”—is a blue to olive green. Their shells can reach up to 9 inches across. Blue crab claws are bright blue, and mature females commonly have red tips on their claws. These tasty swimmers have three pairs of walking legs and rear swimming legs that look like paddles. Though not featured in many of the iconic Thanksgiving images, crab and other shellfish were likely a part of the feast that inspired the national holiday due to their abundance and range. Consider the sustainable and delicious seafood option of crab cakes using your Thanksgiving leftovers, thanks to this recipe put out by NOAA Fisheries and Seafood Nutrition Partnership: Easy Crab Cake Servings 3 or 6 Prep Time 5 mins Cook Time 10 mins Total Time 15 mins Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup mashed potatoes 1 (8 oz.) can lump crab meat 1/2 cup flour 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Olive oil Instructions 1. In a small bowl, gently fold together potatoes and crab. Make 6 croquette disks, shaping them firmly. 2. Make a breading station by placing flour on a plate, beaten eggs into a bowl, and then mix Panko and Parmesan on another plate.3. Carefully dredge each croquette disk in flour, then eggs, then coat well with Panko-Parmesan mixture. 4. Heat a skillet to medium-high and add olive oil. Gently add 3 of the croquettes, cooking them until lightly browned on each side. Remove and place croquettes on a paper towel. Drizzle a little more olive oil into pan and add the final 3 croquettes, browning on each side. Remove and let croquettes slightly cool, then serve! Image: Blue Crabs.

Fish Friday! In the fall of 2013 these images of stop net fishing on Bogue Banks were captured, and the fishermen were quoted as saying, “Take your pictures now because we’re probably going to be the last generation to do this!” In these pictures, courtesy of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, a mullet fishing crew on Bogue Banks are pulling in their strike net. The season for mullet harvest from the beach has traditionally occurred in the Fall. Launching small skiffs into the surf from southern facing beaches is a little easier this time of year, the north winds can calm the ocean's surface. An 'L' shaped net fixed to the beach is swept by a skiff pulling a seine. Once the seine has been brought back to the beach, tractors are used to pull it completely out of the water so the catch can be culled.Image: A crew of stop net fishermen keep a watchful eye on the water, circa 2013. (Image courtesy NCDMF).Image: The stop net has been “struck” and strike net hooked up to the second tractor, circa 2013. (Image courtesy NCDMF).Image: The catch has been hauled onto the beach and is now being transferred to waiting trucks, circa 2013. (Image courtesy NCDMF). ... See MoreSee Less

NOTE: This post was updated to clarify that it's referencing two different ships with the same name.On November 5, 1914, warship USS “North Carolina” helped the U.S. Navy’s aviation program launch forward—literally. While off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, “North Carolina” participated in experimental work to use catapults on battleships. It was the first warship to launch an aircraft using a catapult while underway. The work led to the use of catapults to launch aircraft from battleships and cruisers through World War II. A different Battleship North Carolina, the memorial ship moored in Wilmington, features a restored Kingfisher, a type of plane used in catapult launches, on display on its deck. The catapult tracks, themselves, have been removed.Moored across from historic downtown Wilmington, Battleship “North Carolina” proudly serves as the state’s World War II Memorial to the 11,000+ North Carolinians who made the ultimate sacrifice. Visitors are welcomed daily to explore nine levels, climb inside gun turrets, marvel at early computers, and see where the crew ate, slept, and worked.

The United States Revenue Cutter “Pamlico” arrived at its permanent station at New Bern, North Carolina, on November 4, 1907. “Pamlico” prepared to carry out assigned duties of enforcing custom laws, conducting search and rescue operations, patrol regattas and other maritime events, transport federal officials as required, and participate in community activities as ordered. The cutter spent its entire career stationed at New Bern and remained in service until 1946.
