Thought that was the mexican style Mortar and pestle that they make guac at the table with? https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://www.williams-sonoma.com/wsimgs/rk/images/dp/wcm/201824/0257/molcajete-lava-stone-mortar-and-pestle-c.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/molcajete-lava-stone-mortar-and-pestle/&h=574&w=574&tbnid=DOCTJvpV-hCegM:&q=Molcajete&tbnh=186&tbnw=186&usg=AI4_-kQPxlFzueyam9BjkUYfMeO8fswa_g&vet=12ahUKEwjh4fTy0OffAhUJCawKHUomCO0Q_B0wJHoECAUQBg..i&docid=zfDGrOVDfxiQBM&itg=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjh4fTy0OffAhUJCawKHUomCO0Q_B0wJHoECAUQBg

I found this at Google.  Looks like way to much work for Crabfest but I would be happy to join in the eating if you make it.
For Salsa
1 pound roma tomatoes
8 -10 chile japones or chile de arbol
2 serranos , stems removed
1/3 piece of white onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup cooking water
salt to taste and pinch of oregano to finish

In a saucepan, combine all of the ingredients for salsa, minus garlic and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and continue cooking for 10 minutes or until skins from tomatoes beging to tear open. Set aside to cool. After a while, peel the skins off of the tomatoes and cut out the core. Add all of the salsa ingredients to the blender, including 1/2 cup of cooking water. Blend on high until very smooth. Taste for salt. Add pinch of oregano on top. Set aside.

For Marinade
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1 tsp. peppercorns
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/3 tsp. chile de arbol powder
Juice of 1 large orange
Juice of 2 key limes or 1 reg. lime
salt to taste
1/4 cup olive oil

In a molcajete, add the garlic cloves and salt. Grind down to a paste. Gradually add in the cumin seeds, peppercorns and oregano and grind down until smooth. Stir in the remaining ingredients, then whisk to combine. Set aside.

 

You will Also need
A large and deep molcajete
6 oz ribeye steak
8 oz boneless chicken breast
8 jumbo shrimp, peeled and cleaned
6 oz longaniza sausage
1 large bell pepper, or poblano, sliced into strips
1 medium onion, sliced into strips
2 -3 jalapeños
queso panela, sliced
cilantro
lime
tortillas

Variation: if I would have been able to find fresh nopales(cactus), 1 would have grilled some and added them as well.

Directions

 

You want to begin by placing the stone molcajete on top of a cast iron comal or griddle and turn to medium heat.

While the molcajete begins to heat up slowly, place your steak, chicken and shrimp onto three separate plates. Divide the marinade among the three. Make sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate while molcajete heats up.

In the meantime, preheat  2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet to medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions for a few minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Don’t overcook them. Remove from skillet and spread them out in a baking dish lined with foil paper. Set aside. Fry the jalapeños by adding a little more oil to skillet and cooking at medium heat until the skins have blistered. .

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees, just to keep the foods warm while you are finishing up.

Preheat your stove top grill pan  to medium heat. Line a baking dish with foil paper and set aside. If your grill pan is big enough, you can grill the chicken, steak and longaniza sausage at the same time. The chicken breast cooks in about 12-13 minutes, the steak cooks in 7 minutes(for medium/rare) and the sausage 8-10 minutes. Turn as needed and place in foil lined dish with peppers and onions. Keep warm in the oven. And finally cook your shrimp for 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time.

To assemble, carefully move the very hot molcajete onto a trivet on your table. Pour in half of the salsa to the bottom. It should sizzle! Slice your meats and arrange in molcajete on top of salsa. Add some of the queso panela, peppers, onions and jalapeños. Serve with warm corn tortillas, extra salsa, cilantro and lime.

Not in tournament but hope to attend. Enjoy your get together Victor. Might just bring my aluminum  like last year , drop some pots and chill. Hope to score on a campsite cancellation before then, unless someone has room for a truck and 16 foot aluminum for some gifted crab.  If all else fails, I will be kayaking.

Where do I buy raffle tickets for the boat???

 

We can talk that one over a beer.     Raffle tickets are 3,500.00 a piece

Had a great time last year with these muggles. Stoped at the tides fish market for some great smoked salmon as well.

So I've secured a spot for camping. Does any one have room for me to park my 15 foot aluminum boat ? About same size parking as a truck. Will gladly pay half your camping fee .

+1  I'll be there to hang-out with LS brothers and friends.

Looking forward to it !!

I know this is a little late in the game, but I was wondering if there is still time to sign up or if it is too late?
