NICE HAUL. I'm curious how you like those yellow rock crab...
I came across a few outside a commercial trap recently and was sorely tempted. I wasn't at the time sure about the regs so I made a note to check them when I got home. |

The crabs are great, really sweet meat. Regs are 35 bag limit per day and 4 inch across. if they are anywhere close to 4 inches I throw them back, not enough meat to be worth my effort. 5-6 inches I keep. A great tip someone told me was to use the back of a spoon as a hammer and just tap the claws. They crack right open, super easy. Unlike Dungies, they don't have a lot of meat in the legs, most of their meat is in the claws and inside the body. Next time you get one, try it out. |

I live in Yucaipa, I always get home after midnight, it's a two hour drive home. I may have to try crabbing instead so I get home before dark.

Nice haul. I haven't seen a solid number of rock crabs in local long beach for the last 4ish years. The sheep (spider) crab meat is also insanely delicious.
