We can't be too picky now.
We are talking about crabs with cheese sauce.
Make a happy plate if you want dessert.

Just think of the poor starving children in stereotypical remote African villages ... check out the fat Parents and Doctors ...

Now eat your bone soup !

a reply to: Timely

Not trying to start a conflict.
I actually have some bone broth simmering.
No metafores there.
I actually have a cauldron of bones simmering.
Just making soup.

Crabs YES!
Cheese on em..No!

I crab every few weekends down here in Florida!

This is an average three hr haul



Then it's either surf and Turf..



Or Crab Boil..

Well, actually I don't have crabs.
But I would really love some!
When is soft shell crab season? I can be down in New Orleans for a Po Boy in no time.

In MIami Florida back in the 70's, my wife, girlfriend and I had gotten 'em together...Doctor saw me last and...was not amused....me either. (TRUE STORY!)

Back to topic...crab cakes sound pretty good about now! Been awhile...

Head to Maryland they thrive on those Blue Crabs.a reply to: EmmanuelGoldstein

Sorry if I sounded aggressive, I was just being a smart ass ...

Hope your broth is good; I know the marrow is very nutritious.

Bon Appetit

There is nothing uglier than a drunk Aussie smashing back a craw fish Poboy whilst dropping and dribbling it all over the show.

Apparently.

(commenting for a friend)

Is that a crab? Seems they got you mate!!

LOL - not quite, for all intents and purposes it's a yabby and we both know its every man for himself when yabbies get thrown in the pot!!!

Not exactly soft shell crabs but today myself and my father went out chasing these .

Blue swimmer crabs , quite common all around Australia although quantity and quality are best in the gulfs of South Australia .

Nearly at our limit , we got sixty in just under 2 hours which is about par or a little under .

Ah the worst bit , cooking and cleaning but it has to be done . That pic has 13 crabs in it .

Side note . Upon getting home i went to hook up the hose to flush the engine , yep you guessed it , 4 foot brown snake curled up next to it . Little bugger shot off into the bush next to the tap . NOPE .

Anytime you want to come down mate i will see if i can make it happen .

New Orlean Poboys

This is the menu from NOLA on Bourbon Street that reminds us that Poboys can be made of anything from alligators to Who Dat fried oysters. American, cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, provolone cheese cost extra as do the onions and jalapenos.

Now as to if the soft shells are fresh, that is a mystery to me. With all the atomic spices that go with it I don't think I would care.

Ah pretty much what those up North call a loose meat sandwich; basically any meat left over from a dinner was up for grabs out of the fridge to slap between two slices of bread...

Po' boy was sent to bed early without supper last night; but he's a rich man with some bread this morning.

Nah man! It's all about getting a bushel of steamed crabs smothered in Old Bay seasoning!

Those kind of crabs are also soft shelled crabs.
But you need to gather a lot of them together to amount to any kind of substantial meal.

I tried. It takes like 3 Phish shows and then you should have enough for a sandwich...

I loled!

a reply to: hutch622

I will be down that way but not in the near future. I'll also bring my snapper tackle. Thanks for the invite.
