Crabbing All you need is a length of cord with suitable bait, chicken necks or fish heads do nicely, tied to one end. Throw the bait into the water, wait a few minutes, then pull on the line gently to see if you get a nibble. Other methods use circular crab nets and collapsible crab traps. Crabs can be caught in local sound waters from late spring into early fall, but the best time is May, June and July. Crab Dip Recipe: 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened 8 ounces of sour cream 16 ounces crabmeat 1/4 cup of mayonnaise 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup chopped onions 1 tablespoon horseradish 1/2 teaspoon of salt Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients until well blended. Spoon into an over proof dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese or Old Bay Seasoning. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Serve warm with bread or crackers. |
