Really bad news folks... due to circumstances beyond my control the crab season has been officially postponed due to dangerous levels of domoic acid.
Therefore we will all have to suffer through eating some abalone instead. See you on Sunday :)
maybe they got the flu or the plague. hard to tell with crabs. i have had some for many years but they do die off from time to time. same with snails. I have never had much luck with sandbed snails. go figure
