King crab can be served in a variety of ways. Most commonly it is served by itself adjourned with a bowl of hot melted butter to dip the succulent crab meat into.
This alone will win over anyone you're serving king crab to and you will notice an influx of friends afterwards. Sometimes it's good to add just a pinch of garlic to your melted butter and I've heard that a couple
of drops of tabasco can be good too.
King crab, as you know, is usually served within its own natural shell. People have used nut crackers, knives, and even hammers to break the shell and grasp the
rewards within. I have found that using a fork is sometimes best. By inserting one fork tine into the end of the crab leg, bending the top three fork tines downward to break the shell, then moving the fork forward
along your cut and continuing the same strategy works okay, though not as exciting as striking the crab shell with a large hammer. Be careful of broken shell.
Having your king crab legs split before serving them is another great way to serve king crab. This allows for very easy access to the crab meat yet takes away
from the adventure of "breaking" into the crab legs for the treasures within. Finding split king crab can be hard though. You may want to look for a local seafood retailer that can split the crab for you.
And so you're off...to find some excellent king crab, prepare it anxiously with care and serve it as if you were serving to a king. The aromas circle the table, everyone's eyes get big, and you all dig in. With
sticky fingers, broken crab shells, piles of napkins, and a variety of utensils piling up around your plate, time passes by without notice. Rarely have you been so satisfied. And without a doubt, you will find
yourself lounging on the couch or in a big easy chair afterwards hailing the contentment of such a great tasting meal.
At Fisherman's Express, we hope these dining experiences can brighten your daily lives
and help you share wonderful times with friends and family.
Sincerely,
The Fisherman's Express team
