We just stay in communication,” said Egnatovich.Įgnatovich, 73, a second-generation Belford fisherman, began towing in a new direction, trying to find the main body of crabs. The five boats out on this morning are part of a brotherhood of sorts, one that plies these historic crab grounds - in the midst of tall freighters, barges and the crisscrossing double-decker Staten Island ferry - in one of the busiest waterways in the world. But they’ll move around looking for the masses of resting crabs. Right now they’re working an area in the harbor called Robbins Reef. They’ll pick up and settle some place else,” said Louis “Bosco” Egnatovich, the boat captain. “The crabs will move if we’re working on them. They will back off only if the bushel prices get too low. The commercial crabbers at Belford Seafood Co-op will spend the winter chasing the blue claws over every nook and cranny on Raritan Bay. Their meat will a fetch a good penny on the market, helping sustain a Shore industry and way of life. They have been doing that on these grounds long before the Manhattan skyscrapers dominated the landscape.īlue crabs are at their fattest and succulent best in December as they prepare for months of inactivity. So too, an interest in Magic: The Gathering has persisted since William’s youth, and he can frequently be found watching Magic streams on Twitch and reading over the latest set spoilers.This is the time of the year when the blue crab begins to follow its ancient instinct to bury in the mud. Now, William enjoys playing Super Mario Maker 2 on the Switch with his daughter and finding time to sneak in the newest From Software game when possible.
This interest reached a height with MMORPGs like Asheron’s Call 2, Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, on which William spent considerable time up until college. William’s first console was the NES, but when he was eight, it was The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Game Boy that fully cemented his interest in the format. All the while, William’s passion for games remained. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, William entered the realm of fine arts administration, assisting curators, artists, and fine art professionals with the realization of contemporary art exhibitions.
