Hubby and I both have the free hunting and fishing license but have to apply every year for the clam permit as they give out a specified number every year. People line up early on the appointed day. I refuse to go any earlier than 6 A.M. so some years we are successful and some years not. Most years we get a permit.

Would love to get crabs. The crabs around here have very little meat in them but hubby is persistent and can get a fair quantity of meat from a dozen crabs. Like you say, I would starve to death trying to get a meal from them. Fresh crab rolls are my favorite. I prefer them to either lobster or shrimp. He also picks the meat from lobster bodies. It is so sweet and tender, but requires more patience then I have. Some fish markets give the bodies away or charge very little for them. Love your crab story. As we live in a tourist area, I could go on and on about the gullible tourists here in the summer. The tourists seem to head for the working piers and the questions they ask just call for stupid answers.

LOL We get a lot of them here too... we are about 18 miles from what they call “The Nations Summer Capital”
