Mixed bag this weekend

[phatdaddy]

went scalloping at st joe on Friday, got 4 gallons in the shell

watched football Saturday (USF lost)

went fishing of Sunday, the wife walked up a dozen crabs, I caught some live bait and caught some black snapper and kept this redfish.

All in all, good weekend

Phat, " All in all, good weekend " YA THINK !!!! Nicely done and send me those crabs, I will stuff them and bake them.

G, sounds like a deal. Our favorite way to eat hem is West Indies Salad.
Crabs are definitely a labor of love. We steam them, pick the meat out and then do something with the meat.
We take the claws and crack the shells off of them and fry or sauté in olive oil.

Pain in the tukus, but good eatin

Phat, I have five in the freezer, so this Sunday I will take the claws, crack them open, then throw them in my gravy and have them Sunday with my macaroni along with the ones I will bake, while watching the Giants WIN (maybe). I was thinking of having them Friday along with linguini and Scungilli, since I still don't eat meat on Friday's, figure that one out.

So by gravy, u mean red sauce, right?

Down here it s brown or white flour based with chunks of meat and onions in it.
Your way sounds good

As far as the giants, only a 2 point game right now, maybe the will turn Barkley loose
Good luck

I clean the crabs before I steam them. Everyone thinks im weird. I kill them and take the shell off , clean the lungs and guts out then steam or put in freezer. I figure I don't gut my deer and eat it at the same time so why should I do that with crabs? But all of the fun is catching them, my 7 year old loves it.
