"He took away everything I love most in the world."

"He took away everything I love most in the world. I am going to hunt that son of a bitch down like a 'coon," he said. "He wants his life back after all he has done to us? The hell with him."

Then he speculates about peeing in the Queen's water fountain. "What do you think would happen to me? I'd go to jail for that, and it would be relatively minor environmental damage."

He may not immediately look the part in his faded shorts and blue vest and the jumble of buildings around the docks, but in the shrimp world, Blanchard is Hayward.

"I think I did everything right, and here this idiot came and didn't know how to run his business and put me out of my business. People used to respect me in this town. Now I wake up in the morning and I don't know what to do."

BP oil spill ruined my life, says Louisiana shrimp king

Dean Blanchard's firm used to account for 11% of the US shrimp supply. Now, he is reduced to supplying fuel and water to BP clean-up crews
