Fat crabs

[30A Skunkape]

We just boiled a mess of blue crabs straight outta the bay. I mean, 10 minutes from trap to boiling pot. Talk about good; so fat and sweet! Also threw some shrimp, red potatoes, mushrooms, onion, JDarg banana peppers and a head of garlic into the boil (used Zatarains crab boil). We have plenty left over, too, so I am thinking crab omelettes in the morning and some for the neighbors. Thanks to Smiling Joe for lending me his propane burner

Sounds yum! We ate the last of last year's crabs from the freezer Sunday evening, and they were yummy - but not yummy like fresh.

Time for Fuzz to drag out the trap!

IMHO, phat crabs are better than lobster Did you catch 'em in a trap or on string with a net?

 

[Smiling JOe]

lobster doesn't even come close to comparing with phresh phat crabs. ;-)

I talked to some kids at the Western Lake boat ramp in GB on Monday night, and they caught phour phresh phat crabs in ten minutes.

don't know why, but I do not like the crabs out of Western Lake. I do like 'em right out of the bay!
