The Blue Crab

The binomial name of blue crab is Callinectes sapidus. The name is taken from the Greek calli (beautiful), nectes (swimmer), and Latin sapidus (savory). The blue crab is a crustacean which can be found in the waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Coast of Central America and the Gulf of Mexico. That is the reason why we caught this BLUE CRAB today. We went to the Front Beach in Ocean Springs,Mississippi and caught this huge aggressive and difficult to handle blue crab.
Whenever I saw a crab in the crab net, I can control my scream this time. We caught 2 dozen of crabs in 3 hours just sitting on the Pier. Time to chow in a minute now. Do you love crabs?
