I need a favor from you guys

You eat your shellthings in the summer, eh? We eat a lot of crab here in the winter, usually january-february. Now that I'm saying it I really want some, but it's expensive this time of year and I'm poor.

Different seasons, I think. We definitely pull the sea cockroaches and such out of the water in the winter, but most traps don't go out until the summer, and then you buy them right from the boat before they sell them to the grocery stores MUCH cheaper. They're fun to play with before you throw them into a boiling hot pot of water.  I know clams are almost always summer only, because you aren't going in that salt pond for them when it's 20 out. I can't eat any of it, though. I can't even be in the same room as a boiling lobster or I will break out. Learned that one the hard way when we had a lobster boil one summer.

Yeah, crab is peaking january-february, and if you get it while it's in season it's cheaper than chicken. Or if you go to the coast and catch your own they're practically free. A friend of mine does that and then boils a bunch and freezes them, it's great.

Yeah, those are our main crab catch down here.

I'd like to try fresh lobster someday, but I doubt I'm going to have the financial wherewithal to go to New England anytime soon. Unless I get sent to a symposium...

Try to make it out here around July, and we'll take you to pick our your own right from the boat. It's really the way to go. Or at the very least we'll see about doing a bake on the beach. If you want good New England clams and lobster, you need to experience a proper bake. I've always had a great time even though I can't eat the shellfish. We'll still fire up a grill with whatever we got. Especially with fresh local corn in in September. OMG.

Now I want a Labor Day Clambake. RIGHT NOW.
