MAN

I threw a Crab trap in the lagoon in my back yard last night and caught the BIGGEST fucking blue crab I have ever seen ( and I LOVE blue crab)

Crab cakes anyone

and gang you can start with the crab jokes now

:biglaugh:

Man, them blues are goooood eatin'! :okthumb:

torone

my dog actually tries to chase them from the shallows

funny as hell to see a dog barking at the water and ACTUALLY sticking his head underwater trying to catch them

it will be funny as hell and a good lesson if one grabs hold of his nose

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey Mikeai, dan,

I need some good sourthern creole crab receipes

know any?

As a fan of blue crabs (besides marrying a Marylander, my mother used to drop traps off her dock in Jax), I can tell you that if you plan on making anything more than a VERY small appetizer with one crab, you're going to be disappointed. B)

Forest no matter how big the crab is, you are going to need a least a dozen of them before you can really do anything.....

Just one more thing we have in common Peaches

and in about 10 days we'll have another thing in common

LOL I was just excited about the size of the first crab

I just pulled another 6 up since this morning

gonna make lunch outta them

Just got back from the local jamacian fish store and they were just throwing out tons of fish heads and guts

mmmmm here crabby crabby

:matey:

When I was in high school, I was going out with an Italian girl and her Mom could cook....

We would go trap a couple of dozen blue claw crab... Bring them home...

She would cook them into the spaghetti sauce... Just wash the carbs and toss em right into the sauce bucket and then cook the sauce all day long....

The result was pure heaven... A bunch of spaghetti with wonderful Crab and tomato....

Sloppy as hell, but to die for...........

:rolleyes:

Is Ulfie going to stand you up? :nyanya:

About 10 years ago I had that dinner at a friend's house at the shore of NJ. Pure bliss! I'd never had them like that before or since. :(

I remember when I was young, and I would go crabbing with my family down in southwest Louisiana.

That was the most fun ever, the crabs were so thick, you could just pull off the side of the road near a canal, throw a string in with bacon tied to it and you could pull in 3 at a time.

You could have an ice chest full of blue crabs in about an hour.

I hear crabbing down there isn't so good anymore.

anyone know if its better to keep the crabs in the trap to attrack others or should i take them out after they are in the trapp and store them in another container?

Take them out - they will kill each other.

No, that's not it Peaches
Ulfie actually makes it to our dinner dates B)


By the way - just a reminder
Crabs are the trashman of the seas and eat just about anything

Whenever you pull up a dead human body out of water there's always crabs feeding on it

Doesn't bother me, I eat them anyway

MMMMM

dead bodies

LOL

Careful Forest,you are probably looking pretty good to those crabs!!!!

;-))))))

crabs? damn those are my favorites... i'll try to look at the wet market today... lol

:bjump:

who would figure crabs like chicken better than fish

LOL


neck backs bones left over from dinner

the catch has doubled

MMMMMMM

We've been using chicken necks for 30 years to get crabs. Started at Amelia Island when we had a place there when I was in HS - would just tie a string around it, put in the water in the marsh, wait a few minutes, and use a net to scoop up dinner. :)

At the Outer Banks, if you ask the head of the meat dept - they have packages of nothing but chicken necks in the back for ya. B)

yeah the local guys clued me into that

publix has backs and necks for .49 a lb

LOL i filled up the freezer for 6 bucks

:groucho:

peaches

if im gonna freeze them should i cook them first? or just throw them in the freezer live?

wanna start keeping some for the party. Going to have all kinds of local delights

:bdance: :hic:

as well as some VERYYY cubano drinks and maybe even a stoggie or 2

:okthumb:

Freezing them will probably make the meat mushy. :( If you need to save some for later, I'd cook them, remove the meat, and then vacuum pack the meat.

Born in DC raised in Maryland - I LOVE BLUE CRABS - I used to crab every summer - stuck in Ohio now so I can't get my fix - but if anyone likes them -

Dont look at the cute girls in bikinis laying on the dock while you are pulling crabs out of the trap
