There are two types of toxins here. "Vibrio", happens every summer and all shellfish must be cooked thoroughly if they are harvested at that time. "Red tide" or other marine biotoxins cannot be killed by cooking which leads to a total shellfish closure of everything but crab.

6 pots in 2 days yielded 44 keepers. I didn't get a chance to really target the Pinks at the Hatchery, but from what I seen. I was a little disappointed and shocked seeing quite a few guys trying to snag them, they do bite.
