mmmmmmmmmm~ Florida blue crabs...

We always 'put them to sleep' with iced up salt water prior to cleaning.

I eat them to put them out of their misery ---after a quick and merciful boiling water and old bay treatment to sooth their nerves .
not being at the top of the food chain sucks --- ask the men who went ito the water in WW2 after the "indy" sank and the sharks showed up --- what its like to be #2 when a hungry #1 shows up.

Oh boy....I'm sure the P.E.T.A. organization is going to have a field day on this one.

Hmm. Maybe thats why when I drop blue crabs into boiling water they turn orange?

Yummy!

 

[TidePool]

Tasty, tasty pain!
Kind of hard to "retain a memory of it." when you're covered with Old Bay or swimming in a bath of butter!

 

[sniffer]

I will gladly give one of those a butter bath, right before it slides down my gullet LOL

Strange, I've never heard one scream when he hit the boiling water. M nty

 

[FISHEYE]

All this talk about old bay and baths of buttered crustaceans,im headed to the all you can eat seafood joint down the street.

 

[sniffer]

the only thing around here is Red Lobster and that's nothing but old fish that's been frozen, thawed and frozen again
so that by the time they cook it, it's nothing but mush

 

[G.I.B.]

Okay fine.... will give the shellfish a break.


Let's EAT!! (ya just gotta love a wife who knows how to fish, clean, and cook... and no, she is not for sale or trade)

 

[Monty]

Is that a grouper? They are deliscious too! But they are such friendly fish I have trouble eating one if I know I know his name! Monty

 

[FISHEYE]

I dont think many here are looking at the grouper

 

[sabre15]

Looks like a groupie to me!

 

[Salvor6]

Thats actually a goliath grouper. Used to be called Jewfish. You can tell by the spots on his head and the rounded pectoral fins. They are a protected species and illegal to harvest. I would get rid of that pic if I were you!

Yea, this one is protected... catch and release ~sigh~ The FWC can regulate if you can or can not keep a fish... they have been unable, to date anyhow, regulate which species of fish bites on your bait. The fish are so far very uncooperative with obeying the law...

So... although it is illegal to keep one, it is not illegal to catch one.

But this little guy... into the frying pan!

According to PETA, you must call them "sea kittens" now instead of "fish"....

 

[ivan salis]

protein is protein --- be they sea kittens or land kittens --burp --meats meat (first rule of merchant marine lifeboat survival -- dont be the weakest most useless guy in the life boat )--- the "food chain" is the strong eat the weak -- the smart make the dumb work for them -- those that are strong and smart are at the top of the food chain--everyone else is just waiting their turn to be eaten,--- however in the end the worms and vultures always win anyway --- *cuz sooner or later we all die .
