Lip-smackin' Crab

After a full day of snacking and crab trap throwing, we ventured back to our friend's home and prepared our catch for dinner. Thankfully our friends had a ginormous turkey-fryer pot that we used to cook up all the crabs in at once. Once the water got to a boil we flopped the still-alive crabs into the pot and 10 minutes later we had crispy goodness. We decided to crack all the crabs and extract the meat before eating - both fun and a lot of work. Only down side is that the meat is cold by the time you eat it. There were rumors that we might get sick off of eating too much crab. The rumor proved false, I could still eat more of them.

After dinner we visited our friend's chicken coop (big fat chickens looked tasty too), the kiddies went swimming in their little pool and then we went fishing on their dock. Low and behold, I was the only person to catch a fish...it was 2" long.

So did you boil or fry the crab?
