Re-cut version of a short documentary shot on an inshore fishing boat in Orkney. Richard tells of his life at sea and the struggle to make a living catching Partans (edible brown crabs) and lobsters.

A great video showing your daily hard work and effort - many thanks. Good luck to you and best wishes for calm seas and boxes loaded with your lobsters and crabs!

That's one helluva hard life, makes you old before your time with the gruelling nature of the grind, and if you're an owner/skipper working solo there's no room for illness or staying at home 'cos your back's sore! Hats off to all these guys.

Nice boat, wouldn't mind one like that myself. As an Orkney crab fisherman myself I really do like to see this sort of thing on here.

interesting, here in Canada, the buyers are waiting at the dock to take our lobsters daily and we don't deliver them, they come to us or they don't get them since there are other buyers. I suspect there's a lot of monopoly going on here, because it seems absolutely ridiculous to me that the fisherman does essentially 90% of the work and the buyer does NOTHING, just sit on their ass and waiting for the fisherman to deliver his fish to them. wouldn't happen here.

Love your video. My name is John and I am a lobsterman in Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA. I would love to chat with Richard about fishing in Scotland and compare notes. Feel free to contact me. Thanks

This poor bastard lives a lonely exhausting life. I give him credit because there is no way I could do his job.

If I read your comment right I think I agree with the basic sentiment of your comment but in fairness I should point out that the fisherman is my brother and while he has a lonely, exhausting job and one which I, too, couldn't and wouldn't like to do - but in terms of his life he has a nice home and a lovely family all of whom love him very much.

I meant no disrespect but merely meant that we all tend to spend at least 1/3 of our day, if not more, at work and to spend that time alone is tough. Adding also that his job also appears physically exhausting. I am glad to read that he has a nice home and a great family. He appears to deserve it.

he still does it even though he has a family

can think of alot worse jobs, least thay get to be in the fresh air with a good view and are working for themselves in a job that takes skill. its long hours and hard work but loads of jobs are like that but have none of the upsides, better than emptying wheelie bins or deliverying 150 packages a day for amazon or yodle round a depressing dump of a city for minium wage. lol or working in a call centre liesening to winging anry people all day. i know what id rather be doing. there some pride in what these guys do.

That is your opinion. Perhaps you live in a big city? Most fishermen like what they do. It is a way of life just like farming.
