Fans of the late Phil Harris, the salty, tattooed captain who starred in the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch," will still be able to see him doing the work he loved when the show launches its new season in April.

Harris suffered a stroke late last month as he offloaded snow crabs from the Cornelia Marie in the port town of St. Paul, Alaska. He had been in an Anchorage hospital since then, where he died Tuesday night. He was 53.
