 Well, first let me say that I've been in the DC area since '77 but I spent the
first 29 years of my life in N'Awlins.  I try to get back home every year for a
week or 2.

 As to were they were, even down in N'Awlins it is hard to find big crabs in
Dec to early March.  We would NEVER steam a crab, a crawfish, or a shrimp, they
are boild.  Remember the tast of the new potatoes, well that is from the "crab
boil".  Rex or Horseshoe brand crab boil is as famous down along the Gulf Coast
as Old Bay is here.
