Got Crabs!!

[phatdaddy]

In the redfish post, I said we had picked up some crabs, but not enough to make a meal.
Well, yesterday we went out for a couple of hours and while I fished, wife picked up 10 more so had enough to pick out.





these are the bodies after cleaning top shell,guts and trimming mouth and legs



this is the body after steaming



this is the body cut in half horizontally, exposing the inner chambers of legs



my favorite, claws prepped and ready for frying



the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, about a pound of fresh crabmeat

lotta work, but so much better than the pasteurized canned stuff

Beautiful phat, I never perfected that technique but it looks like you have it down to the T. Nice job

[phatdaddy]

Not me ,Blue. I clean,steam and prep them
My wife catches and picks them

Phat, you should never post pictures of crabs on this site especially when I'm hungry , you should give a warning
These pictures are for mature people who are not Hungry. If you look at these pictures. , do it at your own risk, you have been warned
P.S. Where is the cross and Blackwell seafood sauce?
My mouth is watering, thanks phat.

I love crabs and yours really looked delicious. I was going to post this yesterday, but got caught up doing something. Those crabs made me hungry for my crabs.
