It's All About Crab
Crab-O-Licious.Com is crazy about all types of crustaceans, aren't you? If so, you've come to the right place. We are dedicated to those who are seeking to learn more about
these shellfish and find new, fresh, and delicious recipes to enjoy.
Catching these versatile crustacean critters is our sport. Cleaning them is our skill. Cooking them is our passion. Eating them is our way of life and sharing our knowledge with you is our pleasure! Gearing up, going out on the water, and catching these eclectic shellfish is getting more and more popular these days. As the economy shakes up homes, many more people are looking to find more ways to fill their freezers. Why not? There is a lot of wisdom in the old saying and with our own paraphrase, "Give a man a crab and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to catch them and he will never go hungry!" With this encouragement, we will give you helpful tips and techniques that will teach you the in's and out's of this recreational fishing. You'll be able to go out and catch them your own. A friend once told us that all he needs to stay stocked in Dungeness is $1.49 worth of turkey legs for bait and some gas money for the boat. With the pots baited and license in pocket, you can fill your freezer full of these crustaceans in a few weeks of the alloted season and eat for a year! That was all we needed to hear. And you honestly don't even need a boat. Throwing a pot out over a dock should work just as well and be just as rewarding!
So, if you are looking for the "How To's"...
