Chesapeake Bay Crabs From This Morning

[zippy12]

After picking some for lunch this was my share of what was left...
Thanks Mother Nature!

These will be picked and turned into crab cakes... BUt I have to get some English muffins to put the cake on

Mike my fingers are sliced up but tomorrow crab cakes should make up for it

A big pile of fresh crab meat will make for a very short memory of damaged picking fingers. And that is a great looking tub of crab.

Salivating! Hell,I'd lightly sprinkle some Old Bay,drizzle a wee bit of butter and eat it with a fork :D:eek:

 

[HalfSmoked]

Yup butter and old bay works find. Crab cakes oh yell. Just wish they were ore plentiful here in MD where I live. Season has not been good. I see that some of those are female which recreational crabs in MD are not allowed to catch and now the commercial guys have a limit.

Gosh that crab meat looks fantastic!
It's so expensive down here, even stone crab claws are expensive & they are everywhere during the season.

All were male but I was surprised one female made it in the bunch. Normally we throw those back...

Glad everyone enjoyed the pictures... Can't wait for crab cakes tonight!

Looks great! I just did this last week since I had some crabs from VA.

Once I got done pickin’, the leftover crabs where cleaned...my crab cake consisted of forming a mound of meat and pouring melted butter over.

I’ll be waiting for the crab cake photo.
