Default Crab meat vs rock.....

What would you rather have your freezer stocked with???. I am crabbing as long as the crabs are cooperating, but anxious to switch to fishing.... Decisions, decicssions.. My thinking is that I can chase the fish, but crabs will be heading deep.. Anybody else have an opinion???

Crabs for sure.

I really don't like rockfish except fresh. For this reason, there are many days I don't bring home any fish with me.

Agree with Marty...

Crab meat stays better longer and beats fish by a long shot for me...

Ok, thought I better be the one to also say, another reason I don't always bring fish home, is because I didn't catch any

I prefer cleaning crabs over cleaning fish.

I'm much better with the crabs.

Now if we were taking about Mako vs crabs....Mako all the way (Thanks Mike - it was frigging AWESOME over a wood fire....everyone loved it)

I have heard, repeat heard, that the best way to freeze crab meat is in milk. Never tried it so don't know how well it works first hand.

Buddy of mine soaks all of his deer meat in milk to remove the gamey taste. Don't know if he stores it like that......

Default Crab soup recipe

Here is a great crab soup for some of that meat this winter.




Cream of Crab Soup


1 lb. crab meat (or more)
6 Tbsp. butter
2 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small onion, peeled and diced
2 tsp Old Bay (or more) If you buy crab meat you need more! I steam my own crabs with lots of Old Bay flavor in the meat
1 Tbsp dry mustard (or more)
4 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 cups half and half
2 cups milk
2 Tbsp sherry (or more)
2 tsp parsley flakes

In heavy 3 quart saucepan melt butter. Add potato, onion, Old Bay and mustard. Cook
over low heat until tender - stir constantly.

Remove from heat. Add flour salt, pepper - blend well. Gradually add half and half and
milk. Cook on low heat until thick - stirring occasionally. Add crab - cook for15 - 20
minutes. Stir in sherry and parsley just before serving.
