Fishtales: Paul Hyland (Crab Fisherman Moreton Bay) - One pot at a time

Deep in the Weeds - A Food Podcast with Anthony Huckstep

Show Notes

He fishes with the Brisbane skyline over his shoulder — and the city has no idea he's there.

Paul Hyland has worked Moreton Bay since 1989. Second-generation crabber, OceanWatch Master Fisherman, and now father to a third generation who's just stepped aboard. One pot at a time, in view of a million balconies.

Thirty-five years of changes — in the bay, the rules, the markets — and one big question: what do you hand your son besides a boat?
