Success!


We have found out why we've never caught any crabs in Denmark..., because quite obviously they are all in Norway! Armed with the mighty crabbing rods (complete with their highly intricate snaring system - a peg), a pot of sild (not actually seal after all - it works like a dream by the way), we got a bite almost immediately, and our buckets were soon overflowing!


No crabs were harmed in the making of this post (apart from lunch, but we didn't catch him!). They were all gently placed back in the water after close inspection, and a free herring dinner (except for this one, a rather plucky individual who made a run for it by itself, just in case!)!...

Not actually one we caught earlier!

  3. I love crab, with a bit of mint and hunks of fresh bread. Yum.

    Bacon's the thing to catch them on here.

  7. They are great aren't they!? I am sure that the English traditional "rods" work just as well though ;)
