Boiling and picking crabs for crab cakes.

That's the wife's plan for tomorrow. I've done it and supplied the meat for her cakes, but honestly I think she underestimates the work involved. Picking a few dozen crabs is a damn chore, anyone want to head over this way and slap her for me?
Do the Vietnamese use compressed air or some shortcut?

Damn Gaston, just go buy you some, unless you like to feel you are accomplishing something?

My son is catching them now, he's got a dozen or so already. Maybe I can sabotage the operation? He'd never forgive me if I dumped his stash.

Man hire a vietnamese lady that specializes in that or buy some. Thats a good bit of work.

No compressed air necessary, just skill. It's not hard if you know what you're doing. Good pickers use a sharp knife to split each crab body half horizontally, opening the body chambers up. Then it's just a matter of slipping out the meat.

Why not just buy crab meat? Much easier and will probably be even cheaper than picking them yourself. The yield on crab weight to picked meat if very low for crabs. That's why crab meat isn't cheap.

All day everyday. How much is your time worth?

Give her the first six to pick while slowly drinking two beers, you will get a pass to go buy crabmeat.

He didn't crab today, probably only have 15 or so. I can knock that out pretty quick. Give me a butter knife...
