Re: Crabbing

i think crab meat taste 10 times better than lobster meat, lobster meat is just bland.
Maybe if they steamed lobsters with old bay, they would taste better.

i am starting to get turned off from crab. Lately, whenever i buy frozen crab legs, i thrown a quarter of them out b/c they were rotting prior to being frozen.

I have to boil rather than steam or otherwise they taste/smell like ammonia. Maybe I am just getting too spoiled?

Re: Crabbing

Waaay too early up at this end. They start hitting mid-June, but I usually wait 'til mid-July.
I put the crabbing skiff in the drink yesterday though - I'm psyched now!

Re: Crabbing

when do you think the crabs hit the costal bays around OC, MD?
I will be goin down june 19 to assatuge island. I would like to catch a few dozen to eat at night. Cook em over a wood fire in the grill pit. that would take skill keeping the flame hot enough to keep the water boiling, but not too hot.

Re: Crabbing

steam them instead of boiling. Not only better but easier if you're cooking out.
June 19 you will have lots of crabs at assateague. Convert squid/bloodworms to croaker, croaker to crab. As I say to my vegan friends, I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat tofu.

Re: Crabbing

but i have no clue of where the crab will be, i guess on ledges near coves and inlets

Re: Crabbing

That's a funny story. Maybe it wanted to use the flip flop as a CFD?

It's amazing how hard those little boogers can pinch. I picked up a fiddler crab when I was little. As you all are probably aware, fiddler crabs have only one large claw. Well, it's large enough to appear out of proportion to a fiddler crab. Compared to other crabs it's still small. I underestimated the strength of that little claw and that ended my curiosity with those things right then and there.
