Crab Dishes

First topic message reminder :

There seem to be very few dishes where you can get crab in the coastal restaurants around here. Looked up some recipes, but they looked pretty feeble and they only seem to use spider crabs, but never seen them on a menu, or seen them in fishmongers.
Went to the local Chinese shop and bought a couple of frozen, I think blue swimmer crabs, and decided to make Singapore Chilli Crab. OK, messy to clean, but only 10 mins or so, and messy to eat, but great tasting. Think they cost me about E6 for 2.
Tonight, another change, with roast pork loin. This was covered with Sichuan pepper, which gave a lovely lemon flavour and a lavender aroma. With sweet potatoes....... great.
So, do you find crab meals on the menu in the local restaurants, or is it just the normal thing over here?

Well done Geo.....how crabtastic is that....I am jealous...

Geo, if they had legs, they must have had bodies ?

It's the one after Passa san Ginesio, if you want to see if any left. They also have tinned crabmeat if you are interested, just inside the entrance door.
The crab legs if IRC are in the first aisle on the left at the very end!!!
Your other message came through as I was about to send. They had whole crab, but so small you could not do much with them very easily. Chinese shop is better for that in my opinion.
