Everyone loves to eat a crab and find it filled with lots of succulent meat. A crab that has a dense amount of crabmeat is considered “full”. When going crabbing, for the fullest crabs go when the moon is in the cycle from a half moon waxing through the full moon and to the half moon waning. Generally in the other half of the cycle the crabs are not nearly as full.
