ashcraft Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I guy (RJB or MB) I would like to know how you would prep something like this I personally use boiling water with a special blend of chemicals. Unfortunately, the amount of time the specimen remains intact is inversely proportional to the degree of skill by the preparator.

MB Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I guy (RJB or MB) I would like to know how you would prep something like this Grampa, the way that you prep the lobster is perfect for me, I love this, but if you want a little bit more elaborated recipe, common in my mediterranean zone, is with soup rice, first of all, you must kill the beast, later you must to fry them a little bit, reserve it , later fry a llttle bit the cuttelfish, the vegetables, and later you add the boiling fish stock and the rice... 10 minutes later it is ready. If do you want... I have a lot of photos of the event.... http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hey carcinus... I would almost be ashamed if that crab came from my collection. That prep job leaves something to be desired!!! Plus, I quit doing Ebay several years ago and will never go back to 'Fee Bay'!!

premierjet855 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 So how did you know there was a crab in there to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 So how did you know there was a crab in there to begin with? Its rather simple realy. Where the legs come out to the edges of the rock you can see little brown colored circles. The part thats a bit harder is figuring out what is dorsal/ventral.
