    He's joking that your wife is the first mate on the boat. The whole slang phrase is "kill two birds with one stone" meaning you got a first mate for the boat and the girl as a package.

    The best way to cook the crabs is to light a fire on the beach, get an old kero drum (about 20 litres, the square kind), fill it 3/4 with water from the sea and put it on the fire until it boils.

    Put the crabs in at the boil and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes then lift them out with an old crab net and put them in the sea to cool for five minutes.

    Put them on an old plank of bit of driftwood and start cracking them up, add a dash of salt or squeeze a fresh lemon over them and then try to beat the others to finish them off.

    I have many memories of doing that as a kid with my Dad and nothing tasted better than cooked on the beach crabs :)

    PS: Never did lobster like that, but I imagine it would be spectacular!

    This old post need some updating.

    This saturday we opted for oysters, Ostrea Edulis, the real original European oyster - only found in the wild and in Sweden. The European oyster died out in the rest of Europe in the seventies and what the French are farming (and eating) today are the Japaneese Crassostrea giga.
    I hope I do not need to say our oysters are best... There are no farming of Ostrea Edulis. The absolute need for clean waters and only careful fishing makes them exclusive and they taste like no other oyster. Once you have eaten these you will not easily go back to Gigas.

    There are some watches in the pictures and I do believe we were equipped for the task. The weather was harsh but that made the oysters taste even better. Moët & Chandon also worked OK.

    I'm quite jealous my friend, looks most delicious! Growing up on Long Island (off of New York for those that don't know) I spent a great deal of my teen years in the waters there clamming for both clams and oysters. It beat any other job available for a teenager at the time and for a while had my own small clam boat. We would get mostly Blue Point oysters but every once in a while we'd get Quonset Point oysters which were my faviorate!::love::

    By the way...your wife is a real trooper!:thumbsup:

    Fantastic Saturday! I'm a proponent of the Wellfleet strain of Crassostrea virginica, but I am intrigued by this Ostrea edulis of yours. It turns out that we have some of those in Maine's Damariscotta River, so I might not have to book that flight to Sweden just yet. :)
