Crab Season at Half Moon Bay, CA

This was a very large crab  (5 lbs.)_caught fresh by Half Moon Bay Fishermen.  They line up in their boats and display their catch waiting for consumers like me to come in and find our dinner.  Bring your live crabs home in a plastic bag, but they must be cooked while they are still alive otherwise they can emit a poison.  If you want to have a longer time between getting your crab and cooking, bring a 5 gallon bucket.  Ask the fisherman to fill you bucket with the ocean water and then add crab.  I like my crabs served along side a steamed artichoke, small red potatoes and plenty of crusty sourdough bread!  So yummy!!
