Fat crabs

[Allifunn]

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 will have to do this at the Wash-A-Way!!!!! PULEEEEESE!!!!

yummy! crabs are the best!

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

Maybe Western Lake isn't salty enough to give the crabs phresh flavor. The salinity is really low, low enough that the alligators are liking it very well.

I forgot that you don't subscribe to the Walton Sun. The last edition had a photo of a medium size gator, and I know a few people who have reported seeing a few. Ask Jdarg about the one she recently saw.

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

Humor an inland person: how do you catch crabs on a "string"?

tie your string to a chicen neck (heard of the term, "long-neckers?") and lower it to the bottom. Watch for the crab to come and start eating on it. pull up string and hold it over net or bucket and drop the crab in. No one said that crabs were smart. ;-)

Yes, you have to hear my giant gator head story. It was as big as JohnR's bus. No lie. I ain't kidding. Could have eaten a horse.:roll:

Really, it was pretty durn big. Anr the next day, some guy was flyfishing and standing in the water about 20 from where I saw the gigantic gator!

Well, I didn't need that leg anyways............

And does this story tie in with Mrs.Hop's Loch Oyster Lake Monster story?

Her gigantic creature looks more like a serpent- this was clearly a gator- looked like the big one in Peter Pan!! I could hear him ticking.

We'll be in Grayton Saturday. Would love to go crabbing on the bay. Skunkape - Do you use chicken necks and a crab net? Where can we crab on the bay? Yummy - blue crabs and cocktail sauce.
