HEB had King crab on sale &a good deal on lobster tails
the crab for me & the lobster for her
in the 6qt steamer
out on the propane burner
with a garlic-butter-lemon dipper

If you're trying to get me to "CRAVE" some Seafood - - - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - - -

My daughters best friend had her 40th last Saturday. My daughter wanted a lift home on Friday and while driving she asked me if I had a spare crayfish in the freezer. Yes I did have a big one kept for special occasion. So Saturday I cooked it for her and she picked it up when dropping her son at ours and heading to the party. It was a big sucker about 1.5 kg. I found it hard to hand over,lol.

The crab capt? Is that the same crab caught up in the Bering sea? I watch deadliest fishing.

yes. Alaskan King (Red) crab
I understand about being reluctant to hand over the tail

Capt, what do you pay for that crab? Roughly please.

Sam's, the local warehouse discount store charges $25#
or local HEB grocery normally charges $20#
but when HEB has it on sale it's $17#
that 1-cluster with 1 claw on the yellow tray was just a little over 1# - $19

I swear that NEXT WEEK, I'm going to HEB's Seafood Dept and I'm buying everything with a shell on it.

Thanks for the info capt.
