If it takes a chicken and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, how long would it take for a squirrel with a wodden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle? Think about it, or not.

Growing up, I remember my grandmother had the seasoning pre made.....if I'm not mistaken she had a big glass jar of the seasoning, it was 1/2 Kosher sea Salt and half Old Bay. So I voted Old Bay but I'm really curious to try the JO#2 since alotta folks are pushing that. Are the two seasons (JO # 2 and the traditional OB/Salt mix) similar in taste or is there a big difference?

What seasoning do you use when preparing crabs? If your choice is others, please list the crab seasoning you use.

I seem to be the only one that does not season them. I'm surprised. Crab has such a sweet flavor on its own I don't understand why anyone would want to change the flavor. Maybe its because I eat mine cold? That's just how I was raised. My dad would steam them, clean them, refrigerate them until cold and pick away. I have had them hot with garlic, oil and butter and in sauce, and I have picked at the meat while cleaning them and for some reason the meat when hot does not have the same sweetness as when its cold, maybe that's the reason. Does anyone else eat them cold?
