One of the treasures from the Pacific Ocean, particularly the Pacific Northwest, is Dungeness Crab. Here in Honolulu we found that in Chinatown they have tanks of live Dungeness crabs. So we decided that it sounded good and rode the bus to get a fresh one.
It has been a long time since we cooked a live crab.
It's funny after "Gourmet Guy" put him in the boiling water I thought of the scene from "Julie and Julia" where she puts the lobster into the boiling water and screams when the lid comes flying off of the pan. I couldn't watch!
It quickly turns the bright red color that you see in restaurants or stores. (This is the point where we usually buy it. We have crab for Christmas dinner as a family and by the crab from Costco because it is cooked and frozen before shipping. Our favorite thing is to buy it along the Oregon Coastline.)
"Gourmet Guy" pulled the crab out and then proceeded to clean it and get it ready to crack and eat.
The crab is so sweet and with melted butter it is delectable.A gourmet meal for a lot less cost
Hi Lauri,
ReplyDeleteI love that you post recipes and experience with seafood. Too many people in Utah don't know the joy of great sea fare. Good work!
