Recipe For Fish and Crabs

Fish - put in pail,
then start to descale,
then gut its guts out,
sizzle in oil, turn it about,
some salt and pepper,
have it for supper!

Now,how do you cook a crab?
First, by its pincers grab,
then dump it in a pot
when the water's boiling hot.
Remove, clean, crack its shell,
marinate for a short spell.

Then with onions and butter let it fry,
add a pinch of salt, spices dry,
remove, garnish, serve when done -
Crabs in spice is lots of fun!

(Frog legs, snails, octopi and stuff -
Don't ask me how - their recipes are tough!)
