🐟 Catch (and Release) of the Day: Oyster Toadfish! 🦀 Spotted during our Blue Crab Discovery tour at the Coastal Discovery Museum, this Oyster Toadfish was safely released, along with any other bycatch we encounter. 🌊🐠 🔍 Fun Facts: - Oyster toadfish are bottom dwellers, often found around oyster reefs, jetties, and wrecks. - They have a large mouth with short, stubby teeth and eyes on top of their head, looking upward. 👀 - Handle with care due to their strong jaws and venomous spine on their backs. 🦷🐟 Want to learn about Atlantic blue crabs - and even enjoy a taste of blue crab meat? Join us for the Blue Crab Discovery tour, a hands-on experience that is one of our most popular programs! 🦀 🗓️ Tues & Thurs, 9:30 - 11 am 💲 $20 adults / $10 ages 4-12 Reserve your spot now!
