The Alaskan King Crab is here!

The First fall harvest of Alaskan Red King Crab are now arriving at the grocery stores.

The Red Crab are also ready for the crab boil at a more economical cost. Brought to the tanks still living from the boat aqua tank and sold by the kilo.

I had to push my way through the huge Asian contingency at T&T to get at least one crab. One restaurant owner was yelling, he will take all that’s left. The sale is over.

I did get a few large red crab legs for a quick seafood Steamer pot.

The smaller red crab made a nice alfresco plate

I saved some of the broken off  big fat legs center cuts that I got for a pittance. Decided to make a nice pasta dish. I poached them it in some lemon old bay seasoned water and butter. Let rest and shucked out the perfectly cooked crab meat.  I boiled some fresh Zara’s pasta, added 35% cream with parmesan garlic and butter, some fresh basil and lemon into a sauté pan. Yum! Life is good!
