Crab -

[QforCucumber]

I'm stuck,

After a chat the other day one of the men at my work today came into the office with 2 crabs for me, now, I know how to claw them and dress them myself etc,

but I've drawn a complete blank as to how to serve them, or what to have with them for tea tonight?

As fresh as you can get, apparently only caught this morning, he said not to expect too much meat off them though

Any ideas?

For me, crab is best with fresh bread and butter, white pepper and a squeeze of lemon!

Sorry, that spectacularly unhelpful isn't it?!

I live somewhere fresh crab is quite readily available and I've never cooked with it because I love it plain so much

Ooo I actually have some crusty, homemade parmesan and tomato bread from a couple of days ago,

Lashings of proper butter and some lemon juice sounds just perfect!

You've just made me dribble. I LOVE fresh crab on bread with just a touch of lemon.

Have had many hot dishes with crab but it never tastes as good.

Enjoy!

Now I'm very jealous.

I'm also very jelous. What a treat!

DP doesn't like it either so this is a treat ALLLL for me.

just needed that inspiration thanks Thursday

Colleague is a bloke in his late 60's from Whitby and didn't believe that a 'young townie' like me would know what to do with 2 fresh crabs haha, the look on his face when I smiled and took them off him was a picture.

Homemade mayo, brown bread and butter.
Soooooo jealous.

Ooh - I'm so jealous. I LOVE crab!! Here's one of my favourite recipes :) www.eatdrinkcook.co.uk/recipe-crab-linguine/

It was bloody lovely, and there's still one left to try that linguine tomorrow.
Dp kept pulling faces and informing me how smelly it was though ha!
