Stonecrab

Jeric wanted to buy bones for the doggies, especially since yesterday was Derp's third birthday. So, we headed out to 99 Ranch.

When we got there, we totally looked at everything else and when we came across all the live seafood, we knew we wanted to try cooking our own live crab.

That's when we picked this guy..

We opted not to buy the dungeness crab because it was like $10 a lb. Instead, we bought a stonecrab, he was only like $3 a lb. I've never tried stonecrab.. least not knowingly. My parents have always bought dungeness. Jeric has though. He said his parents always buy them.

Well.. we took the poor fella home. I decided to stick him in the sink and add water. I wanted to play with him for a bit. Haha. I was poking at him so he can strike me with his claw. But of course, I wasn't crazy enough to use my own fingers to poke him.. I used tongs instead. He did get kinda feisty after a few pokes and stuck his claws in the air. Haha. I thought it was hilarious.

Anyways, it was time to cook him. Jeric tossed him in and slowly we watched him die. Poor crab!

My sentiment didn't last long though. Once he was cooked, I was ready to dig in! Verdict: tastes the same as dungeness!
