[Warning: The below contains spoilers for Deadliest Catch Season 21]

Rick Shelford explored the mostly desolate Adak Island at the start of the September 5 episode of Deadliest Catch. The Aleutian Lady captain described it as, “about every horror movie you’ve ever seen.” He mentioned there was a plus in the Alaska area in that they have a McDonald’s. Even though Rick said he was more of  a Burger King guy, beggars can’t be choosers. Adak Island served as a military base in the 1940s, but World War II troops pulled out and led to a downturn. It also once became a hotbed for the crab industry. Rick’s grandpa came there at age 12 and became one of the pioneers from the very start.
