I always get tired of pickin’ first before I get full.




A butter knife is what I’ve always used too.  They just work.

I’ve eaten my weight ten times over with Lake Pontchartrain blue crab.  South Louisiana sure does seafood.

The best lump crab meat is from the Chesapeake Bay.  Go to Chincoteague Island and visit one of the three restaurants there that run their own boats.  Order the lump backfin sauteed in butter with a slab of flounder or Smithfield ham.  Heaven.

You could try from shore with the classic piece of chicken on green string. The better spot would be the old twin span bridges with a drop net but the walkway out to them was destroyed. Other than that, yeah a boat would be your best bet for running traps

Darn, I don’t have a boat. But I was hoping there was a place I could cast a line or throw a net to catch fish or crab just to show my son how it’s done.

Lake Pontchartrain Blues

From the article.

Crabbing Locations
For those looking to try their luck with catching crabs, there are numerous places that offer a safe and family-friendly atmosphere. Among the most popular spots to crab on the side of the road is Lake Road in Lacombe and Main Street in Madisonville. Both offer access to picturesque tributaries (Bayou Lacombe and Tchefuncte River) that are connected to Lake Pontchartrain. Other options are the public fishing piers that are available to residents and visitors in St. Tammany Parish. The Mandeville Sunset Point Fishing Pier* has plenty of space and extends out 400 feet into Lake Pontchartrain. The pier is free to the public and has benches, a fish cleaning station, and even a picnic area on land, as well as plenty of parking available.

I’ve seen the trucks from the gulf coast heading up 65 into Nashville, and then to BG/Louisville often enough, I’d believe that it’s daily.

Heck, there’s a sushi place in Denver where the fish is flown in from Japan dailyish.

Back from lunch. They serve colossal lump. Market price. 9 bucks for an ounce, which was 3 pieces. Asked them where they got it from and they said South Pacific.

Don’t care. It was incredible eyeball rolling.
