In my recent post, A Good Day to Dine, I reported that we’d enjoyed our first crab of the season. That reminded me of a series on crabbing that I wrote a few years ago, but never published here.
Those who don’t live in crab country won’t find much use for some of this. Most of the people who do have access to crab already know it; however, these methods work well for us, and we’ve taught them to others, so they’re probably worth mentioning.
I described our crab catching techniques in a former post (see Bless You, Charlie White!). Once we catch them, we have to kill them.
Trust me, you don’t want one of these to get a hold of you! (Photo: Mark Zeiger).
