Its Softshell Cab season!!!!!!!
 

And I was all over them last night.
softshell crab scampi over linguini with a great bottle of Peter Michael Les Pavots.

heaven! I wonder if you can get that in costa rica?:winkwink:

I lived a summer in Ocean Maryland after college, dammm i miss the crabs.....the ones from the bay..


Mr. Romance

ocean city is for trannies... are you a tranny?

fuck yea.. softshells are fucking good shit man.

Cool - The farmer's market in ATL gets them. I'll have to swing by and pick up a few. We pan broil them in butter and put them in homemade bread with spiced mayo.

And yes, you can get them in Costa Rica - this is new world - they have a thing called "FedEx" now :)

I loves me them softshell crabs deepfried at Tony's Sushi in South Beach........fuck, my mouth is watering just thinking about them!!

soft Cabs?

You should start drinking Bordeaux
;)

oh god how I miss up north , real fucking restaurants.

If tony's sushi doesn't import them from the bay.....then you're missing out. Plus i take it you've never had a softshell sandwhich. They put a whole medium softshell crab on some wonder bread....add hotsauce....dayum!!!! (redneck voice)

They get bay crabs in jersey though, i've had them.

Sweet, I've got to get some soon.

Best in MD, IMHO.

Also good in NC too - just not as good as in MD.

When i have the time i catch my own crabs , nothing's better than catching them yourself and eating them within hours. :thumbsup

That is some of the most hillbilly shit I have heard of! LOL

Softshell crabs on Wonder Bread with hot sauce? That's almost blasphemous.

sounds good to me if i only like seafood

Other than the wine, that sounds delicious. I think pasta with seafood is pretty much my favorite thing in the whole world to eat. Especially crab and anything cooked "scampi".

I am so upset. Used to live in Maryland (grew up there). Noone out here (in vegas now) knows about bushels of crabs. All my friends around here have to get them flown in.

I miss my Crabs with Old Bay :(

:offtopic













Take a break, check out my sig :thumbsup

next time you're out this way....hit me up on icq

i'll take care of your old bay craving....i live a half hour from popes creek

the finest crabs in all of maryland, near the 301 bridge/waldorf

& bring friends

440-887

I love seafood but grew up with a sister who was/is deathly allergic to shellfish and then was with a husband who would hurl at the thought of anything from the sea. So, my seafood experiences are not as vast as they should be. I do miss good lobster from when I lived in the Boston area, though. Good clams too. Over here they are big on cod, etc but shelfish doesn't appear to be that popular.

:( I am in Vegas now... soon to be Scottsdale til March '07.

Maybe you can ship me some? I pay premium!! :thumbsup

**IDEA**
Maybe I have a party at my house in Vegas and have crabs shipped in for the convention.

Now I'm thinkin'

Lets see, $60 for a dozen jumbo...+ $15 shipping x 1/2 doz per person

25 people.....

+ keg of beer ($90) & paper towels/wooden crackers ($35) = $2000 for a vip bay crab party :thumbsup

Ok.. it's on. But I think I should stop posting about it or it wont be so VIP. :1orglaugh

Need a LOT of crab. :))

I cant wait to teach everyone how to crack open a crab! WOO HOO.

Hey! Maybe I can get sponsers!

:1orglaugh The possibilities are endless.

But this is what I do have...

Pool, spa, deck, basketball court, playground.. All in my backyard.

what's wrong with the wine????:winkwink:

Nothing like a chicken neck and some string :) We used to go crabbing all the time at the Outer Banks. My ex husband an I would go to Ocean City at a condo his parents had and get the first steamed crabs done around 11-12 every day. Ate like total pigs every day with Old Bay and crab juice streaming down our arms.

My mother lived on the river in Jax and had crab traps set. Wouldn't get but maybe one a day, but it was still fun. Plus seining at the beach and shrimping off her dock when the shrimp were running. Fresh caught seafood is the BEST :)

Sea food rocks! and cabs too!

are those the ones you have to cut the eye out and then pick out the membranes? i remember having to do that like 8 years ago when i worked in a seafood department.

maybe if you're the cook.
as the eater, all you do is eat

naa...you eat the entire fucking thing, every single bit of it

you drop it in a frier....& then eat the bitch

the shell is nothing, they shed it...thats why its called a softshell


their also great for catching striped bass

crabs are the shit

AFTER they have been cleaned.
