I was a little off on the contents. We got two five pound packages of
"super colossal king crab legs." I'm guessing this means they are...big!
Hope so.

We also got a smoked salmon sliced into "lox" strips, and a variety of
salmon steaks. I'll have to make a bagel, cream cheese, red onion,
capers and tomato run in the am! :)

Slurp!

And the headlines read:

"Harry Krause Gets A Case of The Crabs Overnight!"

What's bizarre about this is the fact that you can by frozen king crab
legs in just about ANY grocery store. Add to that that I can get live
ones at the Dekalb Farmer's Market!!!


Nothing bizarre, SFB...it was a food gift from a client.

Nice gift since king crab is expensive and you've likely gotten what's
reserved for family and friends. Same thing used to happen to me thru
friends in the shipping business at different times of the year. Flash
frozen salmon and crab. Man, it was good.

Indeed.

Loogy, btw, is the rec.boats expert on fatty, high cholesterol food
prepared in ways that assure the maximum clogging of arteries. Most of
the food he discusses in rec.boats is so greasy, if it were fed to POWs,
the International Red Cross would object.


I admit to liking nothing better than clarified butter with crab. If
I were morbidly obese, I couldn't resist soaking crab in butter.
Dungeness are still my fave, even over king. I tried to get the wife
to engage in crab potting with me when we spent time in the San Juans
but she just couldn't handle throwing the little buggers into a pot of
boiling water. She could swear the squealing of the pressure escaping
their shells were crabs screaming. Explaining that crabs lacked vocal
chords didn't help at all.

My wife is like that with lobsters, but she sure doesn't mind eating
them after the "screaming" stops.

The crab dish we had in SF was sans butter. It had a really interesting
dressing. We'll be in SF again next fall, I think, and will hit the
place again.

Might be in southern California before that...if so, will look for
interesting vietnamese restaurants there.
