After a week in the Outer Banks I have to say that it's nice to be home!  OBX is beautiful but it's not like the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  I have one day of vacation left (tomorrow), can anybody guess what I'm going to do.  That's right, I'm going crabbin'!  I heard there is some weather heading our way so I'll try to get a dozen or so in the morning to get my crab fix for the week.  I talked to 3 or 4 seafood dealers in Rodanthe and Avon and they were having a terrible time getting crabs.  The ones they are getting are small and light.

Man, a great day at the Narrows.  Almost a full bushel by 7 AM.  I was back home before the family was up.  I caught 3 or 4 Gigantic crabs.  They were mutants or something because they were 8" 8.5".  The rest were all 6" or over after I started culling out the 5.5's.  I'll post some pics when they come out of the steamer here in a few minutes.  It's a little early for eating crabs (10 AM) but the table is set and I'm starting to get hungry.  Oh well!

Crab a Lot

Lusby hardware in Prince Frederick, Md carries all sizes of steamers.  I bought one 2 years ago that will steam over a bushell and a half and they had larger.  If I remember correctly, I think I paid about $120 for it but it is heavy and it keeps me from steaming a lot of small pots.
