Lumb Crab,egg,Celery ,Old Bay Seasoning ,Thyme and rolled in Panko.1/2Cup Panko per Lb. of Crab meat.Fry em up. Delicious! So much better than commercial 'Bread Cakes' that taste more like Turkey stuffing!

Crab, sausage, shrimp, potatos, corn and some seasonings. Good fishing good food and good friends looking forward to my next trip up there!

Comment by Tony Livingston on August 1, 2012 at 7:03pm: Gotcha. That puts it in a context I can understand.... You gonna be cookin' in the hotel parking lot??

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on August 1, 2012 at 6:51pm: If you've ever had one or heard of a Crab Cake Tony....a crab the size pictured here would give you a hamburger sized cake ...Three to four cakes makes a pretty good meal!

Comment by Tony Livingston on August 1, 2012 at 6:47pm: Okay Jeffrey, thanks. I was wondering if the legs/claws were the only edible parts....

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on August 1, 2012 at 6:42pm: The shell pulls off after boiling Tony to expose the body which is full of meat in sections....The claws also hold meat that is traditionally eaten as well....Good rule of thumb for eating steamed or boiled crabs is 8 to 12 per person......Melt butter and stack the crab meat on fresh saltine crackers and it's a hit...Like cleaning Bluegill though, many folks aren't patient enough to pick blue crabs....
