In Eagle Bay the crabs are
soft. They’ re changing their

good ‘in most of the bays

The reason for the soft
shells is, in May and June
each year, craba bury
themselves {n the sand and
change their shells to allow
for body growth. The reason
crab fishermen do not prefer
these freshly changed sheila
is that most body meat has
been used in the shell
