While tied up in Reid Harbor on Stuart Island, we met a fellow named James Life; he works over at CSR Marine, one of the big boatyards in these parts. He spotted my AIS antenna right off the bat, which was noteworthy in and of itself.
Anyway, his family had some crab, which they were willing to share. Even better, they had enough Zyliss Seafood Crackers to go around.
This is a VERY handy tool for cracking crab, friendlier on the fingers than any other crab cracking tool I know.
Of course, a pair of rusty pliers from the tool box will do in a pinch, but the Zyliss Seafood Crackers are less than $7 each. Anybody who catches crab or lobster regularly should have at least a couple on hand.
By the way, James & family: Thanks for the crab!

OMG – I purchased one of these yesterday.
Hey Tim! I’m looking across the dock at Two Lucky Fish as I type this… hope you’re somewhere nearby!
Cheers from a very rainy day on the water,

Actually, I’m in Seattle, but I’ll be back at the boat tomorrow. It’s a very rainy day, and I’m kinda glad to be warm and dry at home today!
Funny, I have one of those in my drawer and always pick out a plain old metal “walnut” cracker instead of it. The Zyliss seems kind of bendy to me.
