I’m not sure if this is pure coincidence or if my grocery store planned this, but snow crab was on sale here for a fabulous $4.99 a pound. Needless to say, we stocked up.
Crab is such a delightful seafood. Who needs a National Crabmeat Day to celebrate it? Lobster is one thing, but crab is truly sensual. I don’t know whether it’s the cracking of the claws or the physical handling of the meat that makes it so. All I know is that if you want to prepare the perfect aphrodisiac meal, crab is your best bet.
The wonderful thing about it is its simplicity. You can of course, go all out with a crab salad or other such dish. For me, I prefer steamed (or roasted) crab in it all its simple glory. Sure, there is the butter, but it’s only a once-in-awhile indulgence. Normally, crab is relatively expensive.
For the healthy lifestyle, have it as a splurge or treat. Of course, if crab is $4.99 a pound, you just found an excuse for that indulgence.
