Winding Down
I worked really hard this week (but within reason) so that I could take the weekend off. Tonight, CJ and I went to dinner at Canton Dockside. Can you believe she's never been there? (CJ, I can't believe you've never been there.) It is down by the water in Canton, with a great view of the industrial Canton waterfront.
I, of course, didn't pick crabs (I had salmon)... but CJ did! Here's CJ holding up a large crab for me to snap a photo of... keep in mind that I smashed exactly one claw with a mallet (twice). I just can't smash their little bodies to bits. I can't. CJ got full, though, and picked some crab meat for me. Oh, I love her so.

Hi! I'm TOM HYLAND, author of "BAWLMER, MERLYN - Home of The HONS"...
GOOGLED the title, and VOILA! Your blogsite was listed... read a bit, was impressed... and decided someone LOCAL needed to teach you how to properly PICK CRABS! SMASHING is a NO-NO in my book.

CIAO! Tom.
Ha... Tomkat is GREAT! Take him up on his offer!!!
You DON'T SMASH THE CRABS!!!! NO NO NO!!!
You systematically cut them open and remove the guts. Pull back the apron and such... You may crack the claws with one whack of the mallet, but PLEASE don't smash them.
One of the people I regularly eat crabs with is a heart surgeon. He's so incredibly deliberate with his crabs that it is mesmerizing to watch... but you'd want a surgeon to be careful and have good knife skills, right? ;-)
