Crabs??! They're running all over the place down here. You can pick 'em up out of the ditches. Oh, that's Crawfish I'm thinking about. They're better tasting anyway!

I've eaten crawdads in TX, LA, MS and FL and the only difference between them was the spices used. After having your taste buds totally destroyed on the third one, they all pretty much tasted the same.

Maryland style steamed crabs, crab cakes, deviled crab, imperial crab, crab Hors d'oeuvres, jumbo-shrimp stuffed with crab imperial, fried hard crab, fried soft crab, and a dozen other great ways to serve blue crab puts those miserly little crawdads to shame. Somehow, someway, I've gotta get Don Mason up to the frozen north so he can taste REAL seafood.





I gotta get that boy out of the bayou!

Just as long as the redhead doesn't have the crabs...

You sound like "Bubba"

I feel ill even thinking about seafood.

Seafood ... That's my favorite diet ... "SeeFood - eat it!"

(I know ... old one)

I remember when I was a kid (an uncle was a fishermen in Glace Bay Harbor) and was told that lobster used to be considered the "Spam of the Sea" and it was generally used as garden fertilizer and as a food staple given to widows.

You were considered "poor" if you had lobster sandwiches in your lunch box at school more than twice a week.

I usually get in at least one "feed" (Cape Breton expression) of it a year and I like taking the cooked (and shelled) lobster and sauteing it in butter in a cast iron fry pan. Yum!

As they say in here in Glace Bay, "It is some good, b'ye."
