When I was growing up and dad wasn’t working we’d go shrimping all the time. It was my job to deal with the crabs from the net to the burlap sack we’d put them in. Once we got home we had to boil them to eat or to clean for the meat. Sometimes this was 4-5 days a week.
When I started shrimping on my own the crabs were so plentiful it would take forever to get them out of the net. They would fall all over the boat and get under everything. They were just a pain in the arse but I could deal with all that.
Without going into detail I saw certain things with crabs all over them after the hurricanes and a few cases from work. This is the real reason I will never eat another crab in my lifetime.
Never said I wouldn’t eat Conecuh sausage. I have and it’s ok. It’s just not our smoked sausage.
