I thought it was absurd how much work was required to yield such a small amount of meat. I definitely enjoy eating crabs, just not really willing to put in work to eat my food. So I make the vegans do it for me.<br /><br />But one can certainly not expect foreigners to the realm of a crab feast to know what they're doing off the bat! It would be the same as most of the tourists in NYC who have no idea where they are, how to differentiate up from down, east from west!RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079220291482067777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800349583877981344.post-81703429582575198382009-06-17T07:38:51.884-04:002009-06-17T07:38:51.884-04:00Mmmmmmmm...

But I do remember ever so vividly standing on the beach during a lightning storm holding fishing rods (!) with raw chicken legs attached waiting for the crab. Loved watching the live crab thrown into the boiling pot of water. Then, of course, you know the rest of the story.<br /><br />Delish.<br /><br />Now I live on the opposite side of the country...I've never liked crab again. Now I know why. There's nothing like "fresh" crab.Thanks for the memories; through your memories. :)Mama-Facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580875108645568975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800349583877981344.post-5465356169333205352009-06-16T18:06:26.154-04:002009-06-16T18:06:26.154-04:00Do you guys ever grill the crabs like they do in t...Do you guys ever grill the crabs like they do in the Lolo shacks on the big grills with all the hot spices in St. Martin?

Are turtles more evocative of a fighting sports animal than a crab? Turtles are sluggish, while crabs are fast and also have those claws.

I'm sad to hear I've been doing it in the wrong state. We have also had Maryland crab, though, in a little place (can't remember the name) just outside Baltimore.

We prepare our lobster a certain way and judge others who can't do it correctly. <br /><br />I am also among the believers that dining such as this should take place in the privacy of a home (picnic table will suffice nicely) where one is not hampered by civility and can happily enjoy one's lobster dipped by hand in melted butter, with juices running down to one's elbows.Manic Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397835927560496425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800349583877981344.post-3916021328410049642009-06-15T15:56:46.568-04:002009-06-15T15:56:46.568-04:00Very vivid description.
