It's Crab Season!

The stacks of traps had been growing by height and breadth for several weeks in anticipation of opening day when right on time this year, with fairly calm if wet weather, crab season opened at 12:01 this morning.

All of we local crab lovers (some are crab fisherman lovers as well) wish our fleet safe sailing and a substantial catch.

Break out the champagne, pull out a recipe or two, and celebrate!

    How wonderful! Crab is so expensive here that I rarely buy it.

    Thanks for stopping by, Nisrene. You get soft-shell crab there, don't you?

    Oooooh. Y'know, I've been in California a lot, and I'm not sure if I've ever set out to eat a fresh crab. You're making me resolve to do something about that.

    How delightful Penny! I'm looking forward to receiving your gift.

    Hi there Chicken F, Mendo and SF at Fisherman's Warf, all should have crab by now. And, check out the coast up your way too.
