The term “living off of the land” is a common phrase used all over of the world. In our area though, “living off of the water” has been a way of life since for centuries. The marshes and bayous have sustained local families for generations by providing transportation routes, a means of income, and most of all food. One of the most popular foods coming from the waters is the Blue Crab. For years fisherman have been pulling the Blue Crab from these waterways and their catch being sold all over the country.
