The Crab Shack

For one night, our cabin became the crab shack.
Earlier in the day we had been at the docks and heard people talking about "the crab guy". He fishes for crab during the day, and then sells them out of his boat--$5.00 for an entire dungenes crab. Kristen really wanted some, so we bought two. You should have seen the look of horror on the kids' faces as they watched the man kill the crab, making it ready for cooking. It was pretty rough and cruel. I think it was traumatic for them.
So we went home and cooked it up. The kids tried it, but I'm not sure they loved it. I'm not a huge crab fan, but thought it was pretty good. Kristen was in heaven!
Three days later a man in Haines died from crab poisoning. GULP! Fortunately, we were all OK.
