Soft shell crabs!One of our favorite dishes is the Soft Shell Crab at New Tokyo on Broadway, which is deeply fried and delicious. These little crustaceans were just hanging out at Treasure Island the other day and, on a whim, F and I decided to give it a shot. How hard could it be, we figured.
Turns out it's not hard at all. A little salt and pepper, a little flour, then a quick sizzle in some butter.
We took our crabs out to the back patio, which seems to be the setting for our stranger experiments with sea creatures. 
They were crisp and salty and surprisingly rich. When I broke into the back of mine, however, I unearthed a pocket of grainy green ooze. I figured that our fish man missed something when he cleaned our crabs, and that this mysterious slime was probably some undigested crab food. Although I knew it likely wasn't poisonous, it put me off my dinner just a little. I guess I'm not really as adventurous as I'd like to think.I definitely recommend this recipe--just make sure your crabs are clean!

I'm sorry your crabby had green goop.
ReplyDeleteIt’s unfortunate that this video omits the 1.5-hour shoot rolex replica sale to get the raw image but it does speed up the reported 2 hours put into touching up the photo into a worthwhile 9 minute clip. Jerg is clearly no stranger to watch photography and many examples of his work can be seen on his website. Watches are notoriously difficult to photograph and replica watches uk it’s fascinating to see just how much effort is required to create those ultra-polished images. One thing that this guy had was the luxury of time. Not only did he have the opportunity to set up a detailed shoot, but he had hours available to rolex replica sale process the images after they were taken. We envy that for sure. While there are times when we give photoshoots replica watches some extra time, to a large degree much of the photography you'll see here on aBlogotoWatch and most other blogs for that matter is off-the-cuff, spontaneous, and on-the-go. So we take rolex replica uk pride in what we are able to deliver. Though we can dream about having a team of guys like Andreas.
