They do look good.
I can never find a source for crab though!!!
Where do you live, Bunny?
In a pinch, there is canned crab - a ghost of the real thing, but it can work in some recipes.
If you can’t get fresh crab, pasteurized crab that you can find refrigerated in the seafood section of the grocery lasts a long time in the fridge. But our supermarkets always have it, and I’ve never been very far West, and don’t know how available it is beyond the Coasts.
Isn’t Dungeness the way where you are? We have blue crab from the gulf: sweet but extremely tedious to pick, wish we had large crabs.
Seafood departments have jarred fresh crab, but expect to pay $20/lb in LA. Canned crab on the aisles really doesn’t taste like anything, to me.
Hmmmm ..?? My grocery store carries every kind of fish I could ever want.
I do believe the crab/shrimp are frozen .. but .. I’m going to check it out anyway. As long as it doesn’t distort the taste of the crab, I think freezing is okay.
Maybe Whole Foods or Bristol? Does Bristol Farms still exist?
