Fish and crabs caught?
• 2 Dungeness crabs, however we didn’t get to eat either one. The first one I said to leave in the crab trap overnight so that we could eat it the next day and it escaped (I will never hear the end of it!). The second one we caught and put in a bucket to cook the next day, but the next morning we felt so bad for the crab because it looked so sad in the bucket that we put it back in the bay.
• 3 Flounder all too small to keep.
So….. go ahead and enjoy that outrageously expensive fish or crab from Whole Foods because it will be cheaper than the fish/crab we have yet to catch!
