Yes! The crabs come out at night, or in the cover of darkness. Your memory serves you most excellently. I am not on vacation, just really a couple of days at my other house. It is only a few hours from where I live, but, a very different world.
Blue crabs have the sweetest meat! I have had mud crabs, they have a lot of meat and taste good, but, I have not eaten flower crabs, although I know they have them in Singapore. (probably other places, but, I haven't seen them)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a good night!
