Yes, it is. It started on yesterday, the 15th. This is one of the first catches, right off the boats in Stock Island.
Steamin in the pot with some Old Bay of course...
I've heard "the locals" crack em with the backside of a spoon. They're probably not eating jumbos. While it does work, it requires a great amount of downward force. No shame in using a meat tenderizer or other hammer (or having awesome Grace around to crack it for you). But eventually you get it like this, and it's time to dip and eat.
It has Pippi's attention, for good reason.
Key lime pie for dessert. You know how we do.
