seakdivers · 03-11-2006, 07:52 PM

We're having these for dinner tomorrow (along with a fat prime rib roast, but who cares about that?)

zippyt · 03-11-2006, 08:22 PM

And in the next photo you hear KEEEYAAAA !!!!!! and parts of kitty go flying accross the room !!!!!

Just kidding

Whens dinner ?????

seakdivers · 03-11-2006, 08:27 PM

I was waiting for the cat to get his ass handed to him, but the crabs were pretty sedate. Dungeness crabs get a lot angrier, but Kings will just sit there and silently hate you.

BTW - dinner is at 6:30. Be there.

I SOOOOO wish i could be there !!!!!

I have to ask. Since a lot of crabbing is done in Alaska, are they cheaper there? Can you set your own traps without licenses?

BTW, I thought they didn't get red until after boiling/steaming.

kgg · 03-12-2006, 05:16 PM

Sometimes we can get crab and fish REAL cheap right off the boats here. Man! What a free-for-all. Live crab is cheaper than already dead.

seakdivers · 03-12-2006, 07:37 PM

Richlevy - yes, you can set your own traps here. We regularly set ours in the summer about 4 hours North of town. The crabs we're having tonight were commercially caught out of our area - much further North than we would go. We bought them for $6.00 a pound, which came out to $85.00 for the two we got. They are golden king crab, but the ones we get locally are reds. King crab gets a bit redder as it cooks, but it doesn't change color as much as the dungees that go from purplish brown to bright screeching orange when cooked.
Here's a pic of my nephew with a red king - you can definitely tell the difference between them and the goldens.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-12-2006, 07:50 PM

What % of the weight is edible for the Reds and Goldens?

seakdivers · 03-13-2006, 07:42 PM

Bruce - I would have to say about 60 - 70% or so. They weighed about 7lbs each when they were live, and I would guess that once cleaned they weighed about 5 lbs.

Gawd they were good!!

xoxoxoBruce · 03-13-2006, 07:50 PM

Oh sure....go ahead....rub it in.:p

seakdivers · 03-14-2006, 11:20 PM

Hooooolleeee crap!! I thought it was BBQ season, but we got a freaky temperature dip yesterday. It's 3 degrees right now, and with the wind chill it's something like -10 !!
On the off chance that you are curious or are completely bored, you can call 907-747-8633 and it will give you the local time & temp for Sitka.

Brrrrrrr. it's like I live in Alaska or something.

Seakdivers: I hate to tell you, but those things you ate? They're SEA SPIDERS! And, those OTHER things you (probably) eat? They're SEA COCK ROACHES! YEEEEEEEEEEEE-UCK.

PS-I fear the sea

seakdivers · 03-15-2006, 06:55 PM

It's ok Bri - I know you have a water phobia. I was pretty scared to learn how to dive, but now that I have, I know that it's really not that bad down there.

I also like to eat abalone - they are basically sea snails. MmmmmMmmm!

Bring on the sea insects!!

TASTY Sea Cock Roaches.

And the more you eat, the fewer there are in the sea.
