Plot Synopsis

ICE COLD CATCH is a one-hour docuseries that follows two people who leave their thankless jobs behind to pursue highly-paid fishing jobs in Iceland. Struggling British yacht stewardess Caitlin Krause and newly-engaged American defense contractor Greg Jones must prove themselves as greenhorns in the wild and dangerous world of Atlantic cod-fishing. If both new deckhands pass their three-week trial, they can win a place on board for Iceland's lucrative winter months, where a share of the catch can reach upwards of $5,000 a week. But just one weak link on board, and everybody loses out. Caitlin must demonstrate to Captain Benni, of the brand new longliner Pall Joonsson, that she's tough enough to work alongside her experienced and grizzled crewmates in ferocious storms. Caitlin has only worked minimum wage jobs before, and is desperate to save for a deposit on a house. While American Greg has to impress the crew of the 40-year-old Valdimar. Greg hopes to raise funds for his new life with his fiance and her 3-year-old son, but first he must earn the respect of Captain Frosti, who doesn't tolerate fools on his boat. ICE COLD CATCH made its U.S. debut on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at 10pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel.
