Update: Gale Force winds and a small craft advisory will keep crabbers fisher(people?) off of the Bay. Clearly, God hates us. Bastard.
After the Cosco Busan fuel spill brouhaha, tasty crabmeat and fish pulled from the Bay have now been deemed safe to eat, effectively lifting Schwarzenegger's fishing ban.
Although waters just outside the Bay were considered fish-able, "local crabbers chose not to fish until the crabs were ruled safe, even though the crabbing season officially began on Nov. 15," according to the Examiner. Because crabbers care. Aw.
And good news, billi-bi fans! Although "[m]ussels that were caught at Berkeley Pier and Rodeo Beach contained dangerous levels of the toxins," because they're filter feeders, mussels found in other parts of the Bay are safe for the slurping. At least that's what the California Department of Fish and Game says. In other news, herring season starts Sunday. Yeah, we don't care either. Anyway, eat up!
