Dungeness Crab
Dungeness crab were in season so we purchased a pair a week at Costco throughout the month of March. I’d have D clean out the body as I was too queasy and wimpy to do this job. When I tried, I wouldn’t be able to actually eat the crab.
We’d break off the legs, remove the apron from the body, clean out the gooey stuff then break the main shell in half. There’s a ton of meat in the body as well.
As they came pre-cooked, we’d simply eat it on a newspaper covered table with a chilled white wine.
I know they’re great with butter and lemon but these crabs were rich and fine as is. We also kept meaning to use them in other dishes but they were all so sweet and delicious eaten straight out of the shell, we never managed to prepare them any other way. Well, that’s something to look forward to next year.
