This post totally reminds me of our family crabbing outings! It could be a written account from my own life. Only difference was we used Chinese newspapers instead of Korean ones. I’m also super talented at getting perfect, intact pieces of crab meat from the shell – a skill I still have My parents would brag about this talent to relatives & their friends, also adding that I was the neatest crab eater ever – I only ate them using my two thumbs & index fingers.
I can relate to the nightmares of crab guts. My parents, especially my Dad loved to eat those parts. Grossed me out as much then as it does now.
I still love going crabbing, remained one of my simple pleasures. Enjoy introducing friends who’ve never gone crabbing before to the hobby.

I remember being in a restaurant in Miami once and asking what kind of crab they were featuring. They said “delicious Dungeness crab!” and I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and ordered a grilled cheese. Dungeness crabs are bad mammajammas and all, but I’d rather not have West Coast crab on the East Coast. (REPRESENT) (kidding)

Awesome story. As much as I love crab legs, I’m the exact opposite when it comes to shelling. It’s always a gory mess with bits of everything flying everywhere lol

I always thought the whole extraction process of crabmeat was a fool’s game when I was younger. All that work for tiny pockets of meat, however sweet they were, just was not a good value prop. Even when I re-visited crabbery while in Baltimore, the Bay Seasoning wasn’t enough to satiate my needs. Anyway, lobster is king & queen in New England!

But dear Allah, the way my parents eat that crab roe, you’d think it was crack.

Wonderful descriptive writing, I am hungry for crabs just from reading it, thank you. If you ever want to ride your 1966 Honda 305 Dream in a cool place that has wonderful seafood,
please come to the Lone Star Rally in Galveston, Tx next Fall.
All the best,
John.

Makes me want to get myself some Dungeness crab! Your story really brought to life the whole delicious, gritty, but wonderful experience. Great piece of writing! When it comes down to it, we are just animals eating animals. But that isn’t the whole story. When I was a kid, crabs were scary. I was sure I’d get pinched.
