Beer and Crabs: a combination unlike any other

As the men come out the creek with white buckets and make a motion to the woman, who respond by getting up from their place overlooking the children at play. A long whistle comes from down the way and the children stop. At the same time without warning, the children scatter gathering small wood branches and any type of paper that can be found. Some one cries out for the Big Crab Pot. Laughter and fun and then the fire is lit and collectively the ingredients are placed in the new home; onion, seasonings, BEER and a little bit of water, a lid and now set your space. Stories are told mainly ghost stories as the children  wait for the boil of the pot. This is one of many experiences of a gullah crab crack.
