I can't get crab meat here, I can't remember the last time I saw crabs
at the fish counter. I had them in a restaurant in Toronto many years
ago and they were pretty good. I made the mistake of buying them ready
made the fish counter of local grocery store and that was a mistake i
am not going to make again.

I had thought that I would try then on my trip to Tybee island a couple
years ago. It never happened because while I was there I had soft
shell crab a couple times and we went to the Crab Shack and had a feed
of crab and shrimp.
