Interesting fact, they are a pain in the butt for anglers but in Kerry and im sure other west coast counties we export them to the french market for $$$

Yeah it was sickening. I moved location and went to a pier. On the end of it was trays stacked up with them. All smaller than the 10 I pulled up and I thought fuck people pay money for these

Spiders are arguably better eating than browns. Lot of lads over Cornwall direction that free dive seem to be very fond of them too. I love both but would probably pick spiders
