Got crabs???

[MoparMitch]

So this is what we do in Southern Maryland for recreation and tradition. About once a week in the summer I'll get out and run a trott line off of my 17ft ctr console to catch the famous Chesapeake Blue Crab. Since I don't have a commercial licence , I can only run 1200ft of line. I'll still usually catch at least a bushel of these guys in about an hour and a half. The other reason to crab for yourself is because, price-wise, they are getting out of hand. Right now a bushel of no.1 jimmy's can bring about $150 live , $200 cooked. I've never sold a crab though. I just pick out all the big boys and give the rest away to family and friends.

Hey Chick, I'll bring the beers! These are brewed in Frederick Md.

How's that J. O. seasoning compared to Old Bay?

No no. Gotta have a natty boh with steamed crabs.

Been awhile since having crabs.....er eating them. And having that bottle that close to the burner always makes me a bit nervous.

I take a bushel, those are to die for! Your making me hungry.

I always remember watching the Ravens at M&T Bank stadium and the crab cakes they serve, awesome!

Lump crab cakes and she crab soup! YUMMMMMMMMM! I have to settle for having them shipped over night if I want good ones.

Out here we trap the Dungeness crabs over in the San Juan islands. Nothing tastes better than unlimited quantities of crab and beer. Do you know what's better than owning a boat? Answer; Having a friend who owns a boat.

Used to take the 69 Sport Satellite down 301 to Captain Billy's for crab. Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, Chincoteague. Good memories. 80's. Love southern Maryland. Smooth roads compared to Pennsylvania.

Coupla times a year I'll jump on a friends boat for a night time cruise with a few spotlights and net them while they swim near the top of the water.
Don't forget the CLAMS!!!!!

Ive never cooked them, But to enjoy a meal of them sounds good, I have to admit, Ive never had them even in a restaurant Sue doesn't like "any kind" of fish or anything else that swims under the water lol.. we don't go to places like "Red Lobster" which i imagine a trott line and the no how to cook them is a lot more inviting! Cool deal Mitch, enjoy those under water delights!!!

J.O. seasoning IS old bay with kosher salt mixed in. We use that also to spice the crabs while there cooking.

Crabs have as much meat on them as a chipmunk. Now, here in New England, this is some good eating...............

Those Miller Lites are to cook the crabs with along with a splash of cider vinegar.

Completely different taste though. Anyhow, catching them is mostly about the sport/fun of it.

Hey DH, Did you catch those with the bands already on them ??

Of course not, I snorkeled down a few fathoms, caught them with my bare hands and banded them as I was surfacing.
