Crabbing

Wonderful crabbing this year.
All Dungeness crab. Sweet meat!
Many crab a good inch bigger than legal.
Bodies full of meat.
Lots of crab cocktails, crab louies, hot crab sandwiches, crab omelets, and more snacking of crab.
Yumm!

Finally used the seal-a-meal and froze some for later.

Grandson Jeff didn't think much of picking up live crab when we started this trip.
We started him with the small ones.
But he got very good at handling them.
Checking them out for size.
Getting them in the bucket.
Breaking them apart without getting pinched.
Baiting traps with chicken pieces.
He even sat down and helped Laurie pick the crab.
At least one piece of crab went in the bowl for every piece that went in his mouth!
