It's That Time o' Year Again!

 
Craaaabbbbbbbbbsssss!

Our first haul of the season gave us 20 male crabs.

2 of the traps were in the water for 2 days.

2 were in the water for less than 1 day.

One trap had 16 crabs in it!

Leif calls them fiddler crabs, "Mm-mmm Fiddler crabs are goo-ood!" :)

 
This wasn't posed, I promise.
I guess he was just hungry for crabs.
The good news:  The crabs were sweet and delicious!
The bad news: Something has attacked my tomatoes overnight and I am NOT pleased.
The big tomato plant that was thriving and healthy yesterday is full of holes and looking sickly today.
Grr, caterpillars, Grr.
It's on.

  2. SP: Yes, yes he does.

    2p: Ha! I'm too lazy to clarify butter! We actually don't do butter that often with the crabs, but when we do, I just melt it straight up-like. No clarification up in heah!
