Over the last three days there’s been all sorts of activity just down the road from our villas where the waters from Turtle Lake flow through a culvert and into Flamingo Lake. I went down there today with my camera as I had heard from guests that there were all kinds of crabs in the water and on the bank and that some locals were catching them.
When I arrived on the bank, Stanley who does a little fishing and is from North Caicos, was there with his net and a bucket. He told me that he would be eating real good tonight. I guess they love these little crabs and throw them in a pot and cook them up.
Stanley said that there were “hundreds” of them the other day when he was out.
I’m not sure just how much crab meat you would get out of some of the crabs. He was throwing back some of the smaller ones and was looking forward to a good feast this evening.
