What is 'Deadliest Catch' Season 19 all about?
The vast and treacherous expanse of the Bering Sea has long been an enigma for many. Its icy depths hold secrets that have yet to be uncovered, but one of its most valuable and coveted treasures has been revealed to the world. It is none other than the Alaskan King Crab, a highly sought-after delicacy that fetches a hefty price on the market. For those willing to brave the unforgiving conditions of the Bering Sea, the rewards can be substantial, but the risks are equally high. We'll see new and returning cast members overcome their differences to defend their fishing grounds on 'Deadliest Catch' Season 19.
