Crab Boil (Russell’s Way)
In summer, an island picnic table begs for a hungry crowd and a pile of steamed crabs. Get your crew, grab a few beverages, and pick the sweet meat out of these local crustaceans. Local Rock and Sand Crabs are about 5 inches across. If yours are larger, steam them longer!
Crab ‘Boil’ is just a name. Steam your crabs.
