Frozen Crab Cakes, yes.
Deviled crab made with canned crab meat, yes.
Soft shelled crab in Boston, yes.
But never the West Coast's delectable Dungeness.
The season has just begun and the groceries are having the first sale.
You can spend lots going to a fancy restaurant, or chow down on cleaned and cracked crab at home with dips of melted butter and/or soy-ginger-seam oil.
Usually the fish man will clean and crack it for you while you wait.
Never, never buy previously frozen crab, it get very soggy.
At the table you will need a nutcracker and pick, a good cloth napkin or towel, and a relaxed attitude.
Serve with a good sourdough baguette and a glass or two of Sauvignon Blanc.
Thats what we had for dinner tonight. Yumm. Local Delight.

Yummm...Might be something we'll have to try!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I was in your neck of the woods so you could invite me over for dinner! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The summer we spent in Washington, Hubster was able to go crabbing with some other fellows from the RV park with success! As I was cleaning and picking at the kitchen sink in our RV I would occasionally share a nibble with our kitty Jasper...
ReplyDeleteto this day, anytime I stand at the kitchen sink in the RV (a totally different RV now!) he still sits at my feet and looks at me and occasionally meows!!!
Enjoy!!!
I love dungeness crab. Use to eat it lots when we lived on the Olympic Pen up in Washington. Enjoy! You are a gourmet Merikay!
ReplyDeleteMerikay,
ReplyDeleteI've never felt that Emma has lab in her. Others just assume because she is black that she has lab in her. I think she is a mixture of terrier and boxer/pit bull. Other than turkey vultures, she totally ignores birds and absolutely hates getting wet. That's not a lab in my experience! :) She is hyper like a terrior or boxer, and she did come from Texas after all. Lots of those pit bull mixes down here. However she is not aggressive towards other dogs at all. Who knows...she's just a Heinz 57 variety. But certainly not a lab.
Wohooo sounds good to me too
