Christmas Dinner?
Original Message   Dec 26, 2004 4:55 am
What did you all have?

Mmm, crab legs...big 'uns! (stick-o-butter for scale)

...and had smoked salmon for breakfast!

God, I love Alaska!

Hickster, looks absolutely delectible. My son can eat crab legs until the cows come home. Hmmm, wonder how he came about liking those?

I was drooling so much over those crab legs, I had to go get a bib before I could post.... Those are some huge crab legs.....

How plentiful is lobster over there and how pricey?

As far as salmon goes, There is a lot of "farm raised" salmon on the market now-a-days. What you want is "wild Alaska salmon". The Copper River produces the most out of all the wild commercial fisheries. There is also the kenai, Kasilof, and many, many others. Also, many of the fisheries are stocked. The fish are still wild as they mature out in the ocean with the native stock. The Copper river has the largest all native run as I understand.

I'm no salmon expert, but I take my share. I like dip-netting down on the Kenai. I'm going to try to get over to the Copper this year.

"Just say no" to farm raised salmon.

Lobster? You can buy it, it's just expensive. I got the crab for about $11 per pound (which is a good price for that size).

My cousin lived in Alaska for, hmm, 15 years? or so as both a Federal Park Ranger and a Alaskan Park Ranger, he is a Air Marshal now, well anyway he stayed with my family and I about 4 years ago now and he had those same crab legs shipped from Alaska to himself while he was with us. We had them on Christmas. I'll be honest I did not think I would like them at all and they were unbelievably good. Great memories.

I have allways loved crab. But because I am not a fisherman, I don't get them free. And the resteraunts want a arm and a leg for them to eat there. Haggens foods, also cost alot to buy crab there. Well, I am glad you liked them. I also like Lobster Salmon, Trout, Tuna. Oh...and I forgot. I like clams too!

Hick- Next time invite us over. To tease us with King crab legs is not right! - Kris

I agree....taunting us with pictures and everything!

What's that Hickster? We're all invited over to your house for all-you-can-eat crab legs? Heck...since I'm from the dairy state, I'll even bring the butter .... I think I foresee a bus ride ahead....

Never eaten any crab legs but they look good to me. Raised up in South Louisiana where crabs, shrimp,crawfish, catfish is a standard diet. My wife,and I do tell here all the time, she is the best cook in the world, she cooked- a Turkey breast, ham, dressing, fruit salad, candied yams, snap beans, potato salad, corn, plus cakes, and you name it for desert. I ate a little too much and have been working on the left overs. Wish you all a Happy New Year and may the Almighty God let us see another one. Your friend---Will
