Hi MM, have you ever eaten those Batanes Coconut Crabs, i’m just wondering if they are much better tasting than those Alaskan King Crabs.

@Big Al, I am not familiar with those boats, but they do sound Norwegian. They are probably from the northwest coast of Norway and I live in the southwest. I love fishing programmes, I also sometimes love to fish and end up opening a tin can of fish soup; the cods won’t bite!

I have so much more appreciation for those snow crab legs sold at the grocery & respect for the hardworking captains & crew after having watched several episodes of Deadliest Catch. There’s another series I find interesting, Man Vs. Wild. Thanks for the crab tips & recipe.

Big Al, thanks for those tips, didn’t realize it didn’t require steaming. I was afraid of potential cooties so I did a quick steam, but you are right, it was a little dry. zoi, I am sure fresh taste much better than frozen. Hmmm, but killing and dismembering one must be a little challenge, no? pinkytab, yikes, that’s pricey considering they come from the states… though I did read an article that quite a bit is now caught by russian ships/trawlers and they are bringing the prices down. funny how so many people seem to be watching this “Deadliest Catch” program… you guys even know the captains et al!

Wow, there are a lot of “Deadliest Catch” fans right here. I was a crab buyer in Dutch Harbor, Alaska for 12 years so I am very familiar with Alaskan Crabs. You name it, King Crab (red, brown and blue), Snow Crab (opilio and bairdi) and Horsehair Crab yes there’s hair on it and it’s my favorite – juicy and tasty. Hope Silly Lolo will not react to this, remember Holy week ngayon. I also met pretty much all the crab boat captains whenever they offload their catch in Ducth Harbor and St. Paul Island. It was like really crazy when I heard stories/experiences from the “deckhands”. That’s true, Capt. Phil Harris of Cornelia Marie passed away last February. He was a tough skipper and great person. His sons, Josh and Jake will miss him dearly.

@atbnorge, there was a couple of Norwegian Crab boats in Alaska when I was there, Pengwin and Isafjord, does it sound familiar to you?

MM, you don’t need to steam the crab legs it’s gonna get dry. Just thaw it and serve. I wonder if your suki gives instruction how to use king crab legs. Steaming is a no-no that’s for sure.
