<p>MomaS- thanks for the tips- obviously we skipped step 4- no wonder the waiter was shaking his head! Well, lets just say we are on the novice end of the novice to expert learning curve- but we did manage to find the apron thing and get that right! And we sure had tons and tons of fun tackling them!</p>
<p>So tell me- what are the best crabs to get? We ordered the “medium” crabs which our waiter recommended because they were “running heavy”…as opposed to the “large” crabs- but is it better to get the big ones? </p>
<p>So much to learn- so little time- even less to eat if you don’t get the darn things open! And what is in that green stuff anyway? that was nasty- and it was a challenge getting past those lung/gill fingers- but after that, pure heaven! </p>
<p>As for CVW- I agree, a good crab feast is part of the whole experience- at least for the parents! Rumor has it they even have one at the academy over the summer- I wonder if the cadre trust the plebes with mallots!</p>
