The biggest crab legs everCategory: food
The real question is not how to cook them but how (e:matthew) and I are going to manage eating them. I have a feeling there might end up being some crab soup.

Exclusively Alaskan GoodCategory: food
A couple months back someone wrote to me to suggest I try out exclusively Alaskan Good fishmonger in Eden, NY.
Sorry the outside picture is so dark but we got there after 5 in Novemeber in Buffalo ;)
Inside there was a very friendly and knowledgeable woman working the counter.
They had a bunch of fish and seafood products to choose from that were all exclusively from alaska. According to the clerk, her father was a seafood inspector in Alaska. When he retired they decided to open up a seafood store in his home town of Eden, NY. She had a great point about how the Alaskan seafood is safer than foreign import because we have much stricter regulations.
Wildcaught Sockeye Salmon
Dungeness Crab
And the largest King crab legs I have ever seen. I makes the crabs seem so scary that the legs are this big.
I also got some bacon wrapped elk. When we lived in Germany I used to eat Hirsh a lot which was deer I believe. I imagine elk is similar. It was good with current sauce. Seeing as I don't have very many currents, I am thinking it might be good with cranberry sauce as an alternative.
Their slogan is from boat to throat.
I made the sockeye salmon and dungeness crab for dinner tonight. I combined it with blueberries, salad and squash, yum.
I would definitely suggest visiting if you are into seafood. The were open till 7 tonight (friday) so I imagine that is a normal weekend closing time.

I lot of it is frozen but she said they are going to start getting more fresh things in. Either way if was definately fresher than a lot of the frozen things I buy at the supermarket and it was from Alaska vs China/Russia.

I feel like it should be called "Exclusively Alaskan Goods"
not Good. How do they expect us to interpret that. Exclusively Alaskan. Good! or Exclusively "Alaskan Good" (and not Alaskan Bad eg. Palin)?
Boat to throat?! That seems like a mafia threat.

its unfortunate you decided to use an out of network provider which will lead to a 27% decrease in reimbursement along with a 15% intergovernmental surcharge and a flat 9.95 deduction for using a town beginning with E. You prolly should have read the fine print on your gift (haha this will only make sense to Paul prolly)

That was the thawing pot. I steamed hem afterwards and they came out perfect.
I usualy get King Crab legs for the holidays. What we usually do is thaw them out in the fridge for a day or so and eat them cold. Another way is to throw them in the microwave if you want them hot. The issue with cooking them in a pot is that you may overcook them and make them like rubber.
I wonder what they fed this crab... Crab growth hormones?
