That wasn't butter.With the butter running down your chin. Dayum now I am hungry.Well it's not cheap in California either but I got hooked on them in Alaska where it was both fresh and cheap. Well cheap by Alaskan standards anyway which was expensive as hell back then.The joint up street from me makes a prime rib that melts in yer mouth, i hope they can recover and open again.......~S~
If I want decent prime rib I gotta do for myself. Same thing with barbeque. They just don't know what barbeque is in California. And if I get a yen for hushpuppies, I've gotta make those too. Seafood is scarce as hen's teeth in these parts. Something there was plenty of in the bay area but not up here in the hills. Dayum what I could do to a couple of pounds of king crab legs right about now. That was once my favorite dinner.
Thats what I love about the Gulf Coast. Shit tons of seafood!!!
Although like you I love those two foot long King Crab legs but they're 20 bucks a pound down here.
We'll occasionally splurge and get six pounds or so ....and of course we make a several cups of clarified butter.
There was a place in Sunset Beach CA who's house special was two pounds of King Crab legs. I was going with the wife back then and we'd go for any special occasion or halfway decent excuse. She'd pack away all two pounds by herself which a lot of people had a hard time believing.
That was the Sandcastle but it's gone now. However a place across the road called Captain Jack's is still there and they had great food too. It's hard to believe they are still there after all these years. When things return to normalcy we just might take a trip to see the captain. I see they have king crab on the menu and that's a good enough excuse.
We make em ourselves since they come pre steamed and all you have to do is reheat em.
There's nothing better than biting into a piece of crab as thick as your forearm and a foot long!!!!
I usually regret all the butter consumption the next day but it's worth it!!!
Melted butter is usually served with crab and lobster, dummy.
