Had a chance to run a few crab traps this week.
9 traps produced 75 nice crabs.
A few jumbos too.
So this was our dinner tonight.
This was my first time setting traps, pulling traps, cleaning blue crab, and eating blue crab.
It will not be my last.
Amazing meal shared with some wonderful family.Attachment 429276Attachment 429277Attachment 429278

Nice results...although, IMHO, whole/steamed crabs (Old Bay) unquestionably have the best, unwashed flavor. :highfive Looks as though majority were males. How long did you let the traps soak? St. John's?
Great job, when can I come over for dinner! lol
Thanks for sharing.
The last time I ate blue crabs (a very long time ago) I got extremely sick. I'm sure the bottle of moon shine we had to go with them didn't have anything to do with it.:Rofl
We soaked them about 3 and half day before we got back to them.Quote:

I thought that was odd, but being my first time I didn't say anything.
My cousin cooked them and he uses Zatarans. I like Old Bay better but I didn't cook...lol
Yes sir they were St. John's River crab. Palatka area.

His cooking method appeared to be boiling...very much a 180* variance from dry steaming:check Google Maryland steamed crabs if desired.:cheers2 I typically drop/pull my traps on same day after fishing. Had some "instances" in my past!:Rofl
Nice haul. and one nice looking cook out. Everyone has their favorite way to cook them. But no matter how you cook them, they still taste good.
What a feast!
Wow great looking table set. Talk about a feast. We should do this at the next slab fest!!!!!!! Somebody please talk to Doug:fish
That is some nice blue crab. The last time I done any crab traying was in Pensacola off the pier.
I certainly miss the salt fishing at times
