Flower Cr
Giant female flower was the highlight of the day, taking the spot for the best and the worst moments of the day. Word of advice, barnacles always call dibs. I spent forever scrubbing them off
Glass Cr
Scoured the net for a "prawn season" but I couldn't find any. These are the biggest I've had in a while so I'm going assume this is the season, please correct me if I'm wrong! And these are glass shrimp, correct?
Off topic, Any Crabbers living in the northeast?

Re: Flower and glass
The female crab is indeed big. I usually don't scrape off the the barnacles, as I don't cook it with its shell. It does bother me a little if the barnacles on the claws or underside. Great catch on the crabs and prawns. Certain species of prawns are seasonal but I'm not sure when they are either. They're very good size, like those in the market.
Thanks for sharing you catch.

@Peace If you don't cook them with the shell, won't the meat shrivel?

Re: Flower and glass
It won't be too dried up if you don't overcook it, I usually steam it for 15mins and the meat is still rather juicy. The shell takes a lot of space, so unless it's just one or two crabs I would remove the shell.
