Oregon coast.
This popular, church organized men's event happens every year in October for one day only. The men meet in Astoria, rain or shine, on the chosen Saturday for a day of crabbing and fellowship, except the boat drivers who are there all weekend. They arrive on Friday to set up and get in a few pulls so that they have crab ready to go first thing on Saturday morning when the others arrive. After a morning of pulling crab pots the men are served lunch, which includes crab of course, then more crabbing in the afternoon. At the end of the day, after the crab has been cooked, it is divided and sent home. The boat drivers stay until Sunday to clean and pack up. When the cooler full of crab arrives at our house we pick the meat, eat some!, put the rest in vacuumed sealed bags and freeze.

ReplyDeleteWe ate some that night too. It was soooo good! Some of my holiday recipes call for crab so it always arrives just in time.
