open their doors today. everything i'm getting now that i'm back in d.c. is there's no real effort being made, or push being made to get the government back on track. >> how narrow is crab season? >> well, crab season is time-specific because we are, basically, especially our red king crab, about half of that goes to japan and the other half comes to the domestic market. and a good percentage of that goes to the holiday market. so new year's in particular. so if we don't have our crab delivered frozen and shipped by about the first or second week of november, then it's not going to make the holiday markets and we're not going to see the premium price we would normally see this time of year. >> we're really talking just a few weeks here. >> not only a few weeks. we're talking a few days. if the government doesn't get their act together by the middle of next week, then they're going to definitely seriously impact our price at the dock. that's going to spiral down to coastal communities, little guys, processors. it's not just 80 fishing boats in the bering sea.
