Hey redcrbbr,

I just read your bio info and I've got a question for ya. I love red crab. The fact is, I found a few while diving near Point Judith over the years...I know they must have fallen or gotten tossed off the commercial boats...but man are they great. If I remember right March is one of the best times to find them fresh...but where? Can you tell me where I can get some of those luscious red devils?

What little I remember about the industry was that it came into being when they invented a centrifuge type device to separate the meat from the shell…and they deliver a better meat to waste ratio then even lobster. I also understand that they are very prone to spoilage and are pretty tender critters. Inquiring minds want to know more...what can you tell me about when, where and how to get em? I think they are as good as any Alaskan King crab.

Mike
