This recipe brings up such wonderful memories for the Coffey family! When our (Jeremy & Elizabeth's) oldest two boys were little, Jeremy's parents, Jenny & Jeff, and his brother, Corey, took all of us crabbing. We caught 13 dozen Blue Crabs using turkey necks tied to a string. The boys were in heaven! So was I honestly! I'd never been crabbing before. We literally made circles around the boat bringing in crab after crab after crab! It was such a great day! And, it's one of our many memories with Corey that we will always cherish!
We used this recipe to BBQ some of the crabs that day. BBQ Crabs were one of Corey's favorites! We hope you and your family will enjoy this recipe as much as we all do!
