Krusty Krab Arrives In Mastic Beach - 4th Annual Blue Claw Crab Festival

Blue Crab - Callinectes sapidus

Admittedly I watch too much children's television with my kids but I can't resist announcing the Krusty Krab has found it's way to Mastic Beach for all the Sponge Bobs who love crabby patties (better known as crab cakes in these parts).

On August 24, the Mastic Beach Property Owners will hold their 4th annual Blue Claw Crab Festival at Marina 1 on Riviera Drive. The festivities will start at 10 am and continue until 6 pm. With performanced by the Del-Satins along with country dancin' and singin', the event promises to be great family fun. We went last year and had a complete blast with our friends and neighbors. Admission is free and you can find out more by calling 631 399 6111. If you are an interested vendor, contact 631 281 2231.

Food served includes blue claw crabs, shrimp, crab cakes and clams. Beer, wine and soda are served to add to the good times by the beach. With face painting, sand art and a variety of craft vendors, there's something for everyone, young and old.

I am a major crab fan and have even visited Baltimore Maryland to feast on the best blue claws in the world - got news, Maryland has nothing on Mastic Beach! The locals whip up some fabulous crabby cuisine you just have to try. My family and I won't miss it - see ya there!
