Ps. How do you like to eat crabs? I love soft crabs fried,crab cakes...This is the crab that we can catch here on the Eastern Shore. We used to go string crabbing --tie a chicken neck on a long string with a weight on it and throw it into the bay,sit on the dock near the line--our feet dangling off the dock, and hold the line until we felt the tiny tug.. Hollar(Yell loudly--even though the person is sitting right next to you!!) for someone to get the crab net and slowly pull it up as they dip the crab and place in a bucket to be steamed as soon as we had enough!! It was a delightful day, I still like to go string crabbing. Have you ever been??
I do so hate the thought of killing things even to eat them. I do like crab legs though. I just can't be part of the process, I guess. Your painting came out beautifully and I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour crab is a beauty, Diana! That green mixture is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've been a vegetarian for decades, so haven't tasted crab for almost 40 years. :)

Dear Diana - I have never been string crabbing. Actually I think I have only seen crab stuffed in fish or in a seafood salad. Sounds to me like you are very familiar with these subjects. I love the facial expression that you painted on the crab too. What a delight for the eyes.
