Crabby Dinner

This post will be an unpaid advertisement for the Crab Deck in Mankato. They can thank me later.

I paid my first visit to the Crab Deck last weekend, and picked up three Alaskan King Crab legs - one each for Michelle, Koleman and I. Koleman ogles them.



There are lots of cooking options for the crab legs. I went with steaming. We didn't really have a steaming situation that would work for these suckers (each leg was about a pound). I took the biggest pot we had, and then poked holes in a pie crust tin and put that in the bottom to keep the legs out of the water. Perfect fit!



After a minute the joints relaxed enough for me to fold them up and get them in the pot. Koleman is amazed.



And then we eat them!



The Crab Deck is awesome. Lobster, crab, fishies, frog legs, shrimp ... I'm planning on going back to try more goodies. They even carry tuna that is supposedly shushi-grade. Hmmm....

I am SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!! Those crab legs look fabulous. It's great you've found a place to get really high-grade fish, etc.
