"Give me Dungeness or give me death," has always been my slogan!. Hehe!.



Just a couple of pointers for preparing your dishes: Dungeness crab is mild and flaky!. Don't mix it with anything that is too overpowering; you'll miss out on the sweetness of the crab!. If available, always use fresh crab meat!. No reason to use canned if you can avoid it!.


Oregon Dungeness is actually very nutritious!. A 3oz portion of cooked crab meat has 19g of protein and contains important minerals and amino acids!. It is low in both fat and calories, as well as cholesterol and carbohydrates!.

I'm assuming you've eated your STD-elicay already, so I'll not be posting any recipes!.

I don't have a witty answer, but, when I worked in a seafood restaurant, I used to shuck bags and bags and bags of oysters each day for Oysters Rockefeller!. It was a pain in my booty, but every now and then, I'd find a little teeny tiny pea crab inside!. They were so cute! The size of my thumbnail!.!.!.I'd try to keep them alive in a cup of water with salt mixed in, but they always died by the end of the day!.

As for crabs, I don't think you can go wrong with steaming them and dipping them in butter, with perhaps a dash of Old Bay on them bad boys!. Dinner at your house tonight! I didn't cook squat!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Salt and pepper crabs!. Take the large shell off the crab and clean the guts out!. You want to fully clean this crab like you would steam it!. Cut the crab into pieces with a large cleaver, take the crab and wash then douse in cornstarch!. Deep fry!. Once this is done, take a frying pan, add oil to coat the pan!. Add about a whole clove of garlic diced (I just get the garlic in a glass jar and put the whole thing in) and about 2 jalapeno peppers diced with red chili flakes!. Mix and add a small amount of water!. You want a tiny amount of liquid!. Pour this on top of your cooked crab and sprinkle sea salt on the crab!. Serve!.

P!.S!. This is for cooked crab only! If your crab isn't cooked, steam it first!Www@FoodAQ@Com

lol mmm crabs but not of the genital type :p im not a good chef but i am a foody nut job gourmand id keep it simple just garlic and mild seasoning keep the sweetness and freshness of the white meat! seperate the dark meat from the body and do something interesting with it, it lacks sublty and fragrance of white meat but packs more punch so can be made into almost anything really but u can still over season and kill it! so be carefull
enjoy the crabs :D im jelous now!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sydney, you saw that on GMA didn't you a few weeks back!?

Hey, GMA was broadcasting from Looneyville this morning with that bridge in the background!.

Apparently there is a weather convention!.

i like them this way best!.!.!.you get a pot put some legs in take about 1 cup over water to every teaspoon of garlic and 3 tables spoons of butter!. Some people also use 3 teaspoons of sugars that is totally up to you in my IMO crab meat is sweet enough without the sugar but that's the best way i like them cookedWww@FoodAQ@Com

You can smoother those suckers in mayonnaise!. It will do as good of a job as those otc treatments but without all of the harmful chemicals!.

Hey BC! I saw that this morning!. When I saw the bridge, it made me think of you!. Ok ok, I was already thinking of you but it reminded me of that one time with you and the beaver!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Or if you want a more "refined" taste, steam them in white wine and chopped white onions!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
