We also learn what each crew member is responsible for during their assigned watch and what some of the hurdles and risks involved are.&amp;nbsp; We discuss what you eat when you have a scallop and what is different about them compared to a muscle or clam.&amp;nbsp; During his time in the industry, Ryan came up with some clothing designs and originally launched them on a small scale in a couple of local supply stores.&amp;nbsp; Slave of the Sea is now a worldwide recognized lifestyle brand geared towards the commercial fishing world.&amp;nbsp; He also tells us a little about a business with his cousin - Finest Hour Athletics.&amp;nbsp; You can find more information here: @slaveofthesea // @finesthourathletics Topics Under The Stairs http://topicsunderthestairs.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/25083900/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/140960493
