BLUE CRAB FEAST

While "Ward Hopping" we met Eric & Dianne who were on a 2 week vacation here, from Utah. We became instant friends. They invited us to spend some time with them at their cottage on Kiawah Island. It was fantastic! We spent the day on the beach and found starfish and sand dollars. Then at night we pulled up the crab cage and had a blue crab feast! Thanks Eric & Dianne for sharing your vacation with us and teaching us about South Carolina. We'll vacation with you, on your vacation, anytime!

Blue crabs instantly turn red in boiling water (they also scream and howl....just kidding! It's pretty quick and painless!) It's getting them in the pot that's the trick!

  2. Wow!! Wow!! That's awesome!! When I come out to visit you, I want to go crabbing!! My favorite part was when you asked Taely what was in the bucket and she said: "A cwab. . ." and then she started to pout. I guess if that was my first time seeing a crab and they were that snappy, I be a little scared too!! They sure do look good though!! Yummm!
