BLACK BAY, La. — David Morales set out in the pre-dawn blackness, when the marshes are quiet and the shrimp are busiest.
It was the first day of white shrimp season in Louisiana and Morales’ first day back shrimping in the four months since the Gulf oil spill crisis began. He motored the Princess Taylor, a flat, 35-foot shrimping boat he built from scratch, through the dark marshes of Terre aux Boeufs, across Grassy Lake and into this broad salt bay.
There were things he knew — white shrimp are best caught at night and in the deeper channels of the bayou — and things he didn’t, such as whether his nets would pull up ribbons of oil.

The article states that people are afraid to eat seafood from the gulf. I’m not. So that’s just more for me!
