AlaskanC,
a big happy birthday from mad max!!!![p]and looks like a great excuse for what's gonna be a great feast!!![p]how do you cook up those crabs??

AlaskanC

Max - I will post pics of the butchering/ cooking process later. Basically you cut them in half, clean out the ooey gooeys and then boil them in sea water.
Simple & yummy!

AlaskanC

OOoooh OK, I guess we can wait!

AlaskanC,[p]Wow, what an elegant menu. [p]Wish Alaska wasn't so far away . . .[p]Enjoy!![p]TRex

Celtic Wolf,[p]Well, that could work I guess. In my case, my dad owns the boat and I just don't think he swings that way.[p]lol!![p]That has to be one of the funniest typos I've ever seen!![p]Anyway, yes, there are charter boats up here but they are spendy! The nice thing is that you are pretty much guaranteed to catch something, and they deal with all of the packaging/ processing.

AlaskanC,[p] Typo aside I am thinking of heading up that way or to Roatan or Belize. [p] I know you are a diver.. Other then cold how is the diving up that way?

AlaskanC

Celtic Wolf,[p]It is beautiful depending on what time of year you go. It is absolutely beautiful in the winter - the water is crystal clear, and the kelp/ vegetation has died down so there are no obstructions. That being said, it is wonderful any time of year - the undersea critters here are unique and plentiful.[p][p]I would go to Belize for the diving though....
