My husband and I are visiting from NOLA and I have an extreme craving for blue crabs. Any place that we can have them? Or any place I can buy them live and cook them myself? Many thanks.

Some people are allergic to crabs.

We're Back

I know this thread is old now, but we'll be back in SOWAL next week and am wondering if blue crabs are in season still. We pretty much have them year round here but they aren't always very big or full. Your FL crabs are so good I'm hoping to get another couple dozen while there next week. What do you think? Is it worth it to try to track them down this time of year?

Blue Crabs are found here year round. There is no "season." Call Sam Wesley in Grayton (850-231-2043) if you want live crabs to cook yourself, or try Nick's in the sticks, west of Freeport on Hwy 20 if you want someone else to do the cooking.

I throw a line into the bayou with cut bait or finger mullett and pull out more blue crabs than fish. No shortage of them around here.

um..so....im like totally getting in my car and heading to the sticks for a plate of crabs and a sunset!!

i think ill start selling blue crabs at the bone - whatchy'all think?

oh ya - bad byrons butt rub also make an outstanding seafood seasoning called "jubilee"

it AWESOME - i sell it in small shakers at jambone and mike at cocoons sells it too i think - and surely some other places too.

fried fish seasoned with jubilee right out of the fryer and then some unca dukes geaux juice for the fries and you got yourself some fine "coonass" fish n chips!!!

"jubilee" by the way is a crazy phenomenom (sp?) where on the eastern shore of mobile bay during some crazy strong tides and full moon type thing and all the fish freak the f out and start just jumping on shore and you can collect fish!!

another great name and marketing genius by my boy byron chism..

gitchya sum!!!!
