Deadliest filming locations
‘Deadliest Catch’ is an adventure reality series that is perhaps the most exciting of the genre.
The series is mostly filmed in international waters and at sea.
Each episode sees crab fishermen battling rough waters to fish for Alaskan king crabs and snow crabs.
While watching the show, many viewers would wonder where it was filmed.
However, more than that, the show also makes one curious about how to record.
Dutch Harbor, Alaska
The base of operations for ‘Deadliest Catch’ is Dutch Harbor.
Dutch Harbor is located in the Aleutian Islands in the state of Alaska.
However, viewers may notice that most of the action in ‘Deadliest Catch’ was filmed on the surface of the Bering Sea and international waters.
Recording in such situations is more difficult than one might think.
This is why the first requirement for a photographer who wants to join the crew of ‘Deadliest Catch’ is to have a strong gut that can withstand seasickness.
Crew members are expected to work 19 to 20 hours a day.
