Just took a tour through the fridge, bok choy, lettuce, salsa verde, green onions, cilantro, green peppers, and that's it.
Edit: Relish, I have relish, which I put on hotdogs and use in sauces, and that is nothing if not concentrated vegetables. I eat what I like, and don't really have a lot of people bossing me around. Of course if I had a medical condition that required a specific diet, or a severe food allergy that precluded some foods, or if I was a ****** ******* I''d have to eat whatever was required.

I flippin' well love crab.


I prefer the snow crab to the lobster myself - you can eat snow crab for hours but tend to get sick of the lobster after a couple

Crabbing is sick at the moment. Broke two of my traps pulling them up because they were so full of big crabs (don't worry there's an escape door for them). Luckily it's not too hard to persuade a people to go for a boat ride on a nice sunny day that way I can use their quota. Which I'll be doing tonight as I set them this morning. Will be enjoying a crab feast with some ice cold lager on the dock away from prying eyes of the gastro bully. :thumbup:

Nothing special tonight. Last minute cheese and bacon burgers picked up cheap by my stepdaughter after work, with cabbage and baked beans.

I love cabbage and baked beans. A great mix on the plate.

Like flavoured coffee I don't see the point of lobster. All that effort for so little reward. Although Sainsburys used to sell frozen lobster tails in batter and they were absolutelybloodyfantastic.

Crab's nice.

Very good. Just an added caution, if you're in the process of cleaning up one's business when tipsy, be careful not to blow your nose. :(

Your comment suggests to me that you've done this.🐷

Unlike flavoured coffee, but with equal mystification, I don't see why people enjoy eating sea insects.

Because they're tasty. Don't just take my word for it. Look at how much they're selling for. Dungeness Crab | The Lobster Man

Yeah, apparently they are...


Have actually inadvertently eaten crab a few times.

That catch should have covered fuel costs then !

Hardly any fuel as I'm setting them just off from the Teahouse in Stanley Park. (Shh, its a secret spot) It’s the beer bill that is of more concern.

You're not allowed to sell them with a recreational license but I suspect that doesn’t stop the dirty naffing locals from raiding and stealing my traps. But I suppose if you’re a lazy, low-down and generally good-for-nothing cradle who couldn’t be arsed to get off their backsides and learn a trade or get an education then the prospect of making $500+ per raided trap is better than going out and making a proper living. God help their corrupted souls. Not that I’m angry or anything.

No fishing equipment listed this go round but this is where the crab and prawn traps were up for auction.
