Finally caught some stone crab!

We finally made the big decision (and effort and time) to move our crab traps last week. When we went out to check them this Saturday morning we were delighted to see some action in the traps.  5 in total - and big ones at that.

I thought you might like to see some before cooking pics and some after.  These look a little darker than in real life - they are cream on the underside fyi.

When you bring them home you need to get your water up to a "rolling boil" and then cook for exactly 10 minutes.  This is to ensure cooked perfectly, plus kill off any bacteria.


This is the colour it goes after being cooked.  Actually, this is the colour it goes within 5 seconds of feeling the hot water.  Practically instantaneous. How pretty!
