What Parents Need to Know
About Lobstermen
Parents need to know that this series, like The Deadliest Catch and Lobster Wars before it, offers a candid look into the lives of professional New England fishermen. Like its sister shows, it highlights the many real-life challenges associated with off-shore fishing, including real-life danger. Time-honored fishing traditions are also discussed. The sailors use lots of salty language (words like "piss" and "ass" are audible, while curses like "f--k" and “s--t” are bleeped) and are occasionally shown drinking and smoking.
