The WORLD Shrimp Catching Competition





I think they can get away with dubbing this the "world" shrimp catching competition because I know of no other country that would seriously try and stage an event whereby hundreds of people, armed only with a pair of white gloves (Micheal Jackson would be proud) and an orange plastic net, gallavant into the sea to catch as many live shrimp as possible. Apparently, the key is to stick your index figure into the sand to lure the no doubt terrified shrimp out of hiding and into your grasp. I was absolutely rubbish and slightly disheartened at having a grand total of zero shrimp to show for 40 minutes of scrounging around the Seto Inland Sea.
