Last night I made tuna that friends of ours caught on their boat the day before. Occasionally I make a clambake w/ lobsters, clams, mussells, shrimp, sausage, and potatoes that is amazing. My dream is to open a little crab shack on the beach where you can eat seafood and drink beer. Sigh...

My mouth is watering. Cruel and unusual punishment to be reading this now, after having missed lunch today!!! Hold on to that dream of a little crabshack with brew, Alexandra....ya never know!
I LOVE crabs (all varieties, but particularly blue crab), shrimp, and lobster. I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where blue crab is king. (Some would say oysters were right up there, too, but for some reason, I never liked them!)
My relatives who moved to Florida say that blue crab is not eaten very much there....Don't know if they're not generally available or just not well-liked. What's the story?
My mother could cook the best softcrabs (bluecrabs that have molted, but haven't hardened yet) in the world. I still get a kick out of sitting down to a meal of softcrabs in the presence of friends from other parts of the country....and watching their faces as I chow down on the ENTIRE crab-- legs, fins, and all (they're the best part, nice and crunchy...Yumm)
