printersdevil78 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Now that coaster season is over in my little corner of the world, this weekend was a time to sit back, relax and feast on crabs! The Salisbury Jaycees, the civic organization over which I preside, held its annual end-of-summer crab feast this evening, and I thought it might be a nice gesture to take TPR readers along for the ride. To make up for it, we purchased a star for the Make A Wish Foundation. And then we all went home, where I'm typing this TR. And now you're as up to date as I am! We all celebrated Dave's finally completing his transaction after having spent roughly 25 minutes arguing with the cashier about being charged an extra 35 cents for a "power boost" he didn't order for his milkshake. Newlyweds Travis and Joanne make an ice cream toast. Seriously, this is the kind of stuff we have to put up with until the "honeymoon" phase passes! Joanne: "Look sexy!" Me: "This is as sexy as I get!" And sure enough, they did! Three hours later I left the table to find the rest room, and when I returned I found this. These crabs are just super, man! Ditto. That yellow stuff in the bottle at the right isn't mustard, by the way; it's liquid butter-like substance. No time to pose. Must... eat... crabs. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! We now direct your attention to the center ring where you will find... crabs! Sure, the food was good, but it was the high-quality decor that REALLY won us over! Pincher's is the new crab place in town. It was pretty deserted tonight. It closes for the season in a couple weeks, but stands a slightly better chance of reopening in the spring than Hard Rock Park.
mr_teisco_delrey Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 All you can eat crabs = Heaven! Thanks for sharing the feast.
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Nice! Reminds me of the old Chesapeake Bay Seafood Houses. Crab dinners are always comical in that you're having a nice conversation about whatever while (WHACK!) (CRUNCH!) (SNAP!) is going on. It gets even funnier with the little hammers. Thank you, not only for making me hungry, but for showing one of my fave foods. Agreed with mr_teisco_delrey! If get up to the DC area in the next couple years, we'll have to meet up and get crab legs, either Alaskan or King, and talk shop. Thanks for posting this.
printersdevil78 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 Sounds like a plan to me. Though I think I may be going to rehab for awhile first. That yellow butter-like substance is like crack for your arteries. I gotta have another fix!
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 ^LOL! Yeah, I feel the same way about Hooters lemon butter sauce. Man is that good! Seriously. They have good crab legs and lemon butter sauce. (yes messed up priorities given the atmosphere.) Around the holidays, our family has a crab leg dinner to celebrate. It's an odd tradition that started on a Christmas trip out to Arizona on year. Been doing it ever since. Heh, I have to avoid the local chinese buffets that serve snow crab. Hmm...may be chinese buffet time after work tomorrow. God I miss the DC area and the fish market near Kennedy Center!
astroworldfan1 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Come down to Louisiana for good real crabs! -Tatum
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 ^If I get down that way in the next couple years, you bet. It'd be worth it to check out the parks and the area. Never been, but thanks to printersdevil78's EXCELLENT New Orleans TR, I'd like to visit some day.
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I haven't had crabs all year I think. Fall crabs are the best though. Too bad I moved away from the shore right before fall starts.
bigstevet07 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Come down to Louisiana for good real crabs! -Tatum Chesapeake Blue Crabs > any other crab They are so friggin good, there is a place in Salisbury where I order online and they overnight them to me. All we get is snow crab here.
printersdevil78 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 ^Thanks for supporting our local economy! (It needs all the help it can get right now.) What's the name of your crab place?
Kalepi_Konei Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I've got crabs all year round. Fixed.
bigstevet07 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Its Linton's. They are pretty much on the border of VA on the east side of the Chesapeake. I could be mistaken though. I just order off their website. Here is a link: http://lintonsseafood.com/ I love blue crab. My grandparents used to live in Millsboro DE which is just west of Rehoboth. We used to go out on his pontoon and go crabbing. It was the best. Just take them back, steam them and load them up with old bay. I miss it. I need to order some now.
printersdevil78 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 Ah, but you are mistaken. Linton's isn't in Salisbury or on the border of Maryland and Virginia (unless you count the waterways); it's in my very own hometown of Crisfield, Maryland (population 2,500)! I actually went to school with two of the owner's sons. That's really cool. Next time I see him, I'll tell him he has a fan in Nebraska!
bigstevet07 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Very cool. I haven't ordered from them in a while, (new addition to family coming in November), but I wouldn't be surprised that we are the only ones ordering from BFE NE.
