A Taste of Sportfishing: Blue Crab Claw Rolls

February 6, 2023 By InTheBite Magazine

By Holly Hearn of Game Girl Gourmet

Blue water and blue crabs. These two things pair beautifully in the case of this blue crab claw roll. The rolls are light, sweet, savory and just a little bit spicy. This makes them the perfect lunchtime pick-me-up in the cockpit. Blue crabs are the most consumed crab species on the Gulf Coast, with a spawning season of December through October. These delicious bottom-dwellers produce meat that is tender, white and slightly sweet. Crab claw meat has a stronger crab flavor compared to lump meat, as well as a flakier texture. Both traits pair exceptionally well when served chilled in a lightly toasted brioche bun.

Performance by Design

February 1, 2023 By InTheBite Magazine

A propeller appendage, a typical source of drag.

By Christopher Swanhart

The same reason water floats our boats also slows them down. Water is dense. Pushing a hull through the water, and maintaining planing speeds, requires an appreciable amount of power. The resistance profile of a hull is easily predicted. And the magnitude of thrust is eye-opening when compared to, say, a car on pavement going the same speed. At planing speeds, 50 miles per hour for example, the required power to propel a hull in water can be orders of magnitude greater than that of a car going the same speed on a road. It’s a drag, for sure, so how can we deal with it best?

Hiring a Captain For Your Center Console?

January 18, 2023 By InTheBite Magazine

By Adam Peeples

As a current owner or prospective owner of a high-performance center console, hiring a captain may not be something that has been a consideration for the term of your boat ownership. After all, one of the main benefits of owning a center console is the relative ease of operation of such a vessel in relation to a sportfishing yacht. The operational costs, maintenance and general upkeep of most center console fishing boats are a fraction of that of a modern sportfishing yacht. So why would hiring a captain be worth thinking about?
