I knew a guy that used to freeze dry them, along with shrimp and other critters but cant find him now. Freeze drying is the way to go IMO

Post by: sirmissalot on July 09, 2013, 02:03:26 PM: I've got a call into him, I pulled this off an old old thread on another website. By the sound of his voicemail he still has the same number and is still in business, so we will see! I've wanted one ever since I saw the pics he was posting years ago

Did you ever call him?

Post by: sirmissalot on July 26, 2013, 07:05:10 AM: Yes, never heard back. Called again and pretty sure he picked up and hung up... Maybe I'll try once more.
