Is this crabmeat, or is it still in the shell?

If it is still in the shell, remove the meat from the shell
before using it in any recipe that involves heating.

(If you need instructions on how to do this most simply
I can dig those up.)

Once you have cooked crabmeat, assuming you don't want to
eat it chilled (which is, in my opinion best), heat it
for as little time as possible. You do not want to cook
crabcakes, crab Newburg, etc. for more than just a few minutes.

Exactly, and they've been big, firm and sweet so far this year. Eat it
slightly chilled, the meat has a better texture and fuller flavor
IMO.

Have never warmed crabmeat up by itself for any reason. Served in a
warm dip once, which was pretty awesome, but not by itself.

Oh, stop yer killing me. What's a good price for dungeness now? I
have to look for some. My problem is if I have to pay $2 or more,
it's not a deal and I'm always looking for deals.

You'd need a time machine for $2/lb crab, with diesel costs as high as
they are you're looking at $5/lb, live or cooked. Been pretty steady
the last few years. Have priced HMBay docks, asian markets, etc.
they're all within $1 of each other.

My in-laws up in Arcata/Eureka (lots of local crab fishermen) are
paying the same as we are here in the SFBA.

I thought it'd taste better hot. Aside at the restaurants, I have
only had once at home. Even then, it was bought at the store that did
the steaming. My sister and her husband brought it home and the three
of us - I was living with them for about 10 months a long time ago -
ate it right away.

Here in CA, $2.99 per lb is a *deal*.

If you really want to heat it, may I suggest either of these
Crab Norfolk recipes, or search for your own: the Crab
Norfolk does the least harm and tastes awfully good with
a bit of good bread:

In the shell. I was going to eat it just like that. Am too tired to do
anything with.

That's the reason I haven't been eating crab lately. The effort
isn't worth the cost.

Hie ye to Hudson Fish, at one of the farmer's markets. For
a measly $12.50, you can buy 8 oz. of cooked cleaned very fresh
crabmeat, which makes two *very* generous crab cocktails.
When you think about it, it isn't that much of a splurge.

Rinse off the cooked crab. Twist and pull off each claw.
With the tip of the knife, remove/discard the small triangular plate
from the body, and pull off and discard the entire back shell
(the carapace). Remove/discard any gills, spongey parts, bladders,
and small paddles. Rinse and/or pull the guts out of the
crab and discard.

You now have pieces -- claws and body -- that can be rinsed
again, cracked, their meat pulled out and eaten.

Crack it, remove the tomally, very gently wrap the exposed body meat with
foil. Let it warm to room temp. Then gently warm on a gas grill at a very
low temp. This makes cracking the remaining shells much easier. Eat it with
drawn butter as you would lobster. We steam live crab and eat it the same
way. Don't steam or boil already cooked crab. It leaches the flavor. As all
have said above, most dungeness is eaten chilled, although it certainly
doesn't have to be. It's actually better warm, especially if you begin with
a live crab.

At this point, you can wrap exposed body meat with foil, and warm gently to
serving temp. We do it on a low temp gas grill. Crack remaining shell at the
table, dip crab meat in drawn butter and smile after the first swallow.

Always, always, save the skeleton skeleton, to make crab stock for your crab
newberg. Make it right away and freeze it. We just had our first newberg of
the season. The crab stock makes the dish.

Thanks for the info. I like my food warm. Whenever I buy those
specialty sandwich in grocery stores, I asked them to heat the meat
and bread and they do it.

I'd be happy to eat the remaining crab at room temp since it seems so
much work to warm it. The one I ate was almost at room temperature and
so half way through, I just waited and went back to it. >

Wow!

I forgot about price of fuel for crab boats, which are an incredibly
inefficient use us motor power. No doubt it has impacted crab prices,
despite diesel fuel back to near sane price levels.

I used to love going to Pillar Point and buying off the boat after a
couple martinis and bbq oysters at the PP Harbor Bar. Jes over 2 yrs
ago, it was $3.50lb for live crab. I'd say $5lb is not at all out of
line. Buying fresh and boiling your own is, of course, awesome.
Plus, it was always a nice day trip to the coast. In the Summer,
great buys on produce. Strawberries at San Gregorio, Ollalie berries
a few miles south of there, artichokes everywhere.... Damn, I need to
take a trip this Summer!

You need to find a CA bbq freak and do some trading. Crab for
brisket, which is typically $3-4lb in CA.

The "great unwashed" created one of the greatest hot dishes on Earth
from dungeness crab.... CIOPPINO!!

Wanna killer and quick use for crab? Go down to Trader Joe's, buy
their cioppino meal (1 per person, still $5!) and bring home. Get a
good red wine (CA zinfandel), a loaf of SF sourdough, and take your
dungeness crab and add to the TJ cioppino meal kit. TJs cioppino
sauce is one of the best things TJ has. It's better than most SF
restaurants. They also sell the sauce separately in jars. If you
have no TJs, you life is poorer for it, as is mine. ;( /

OK, you got me although we don't make cioppino with "used" crab.
Didn't even think about it because I don't do shells. Bivalves are
bad enough, crab is pure torture.

Do you add it still in shell, or crabmeat?

I suppose either would work...

You wrap foil at the body end of the leg only where body meat is sticking
out. The leg and claw go onto the grate to directly to heat what's inside
and to stiffen the remaining shell a bit.

Ya know, even at that price I'd have it once a year. Even knowing that
it's been frozen too.

Okay, I'd get it once a year hoping the batch I got didn't suck from
the freezing process.

Two years ago we made the mistake (false advertising) of buying thawed
dungeness crab for company and it was, not so good.
It can be decent, but where we live we can be picky about that.

Fresh dungeness, second to fresh wild Pacific salmon for my favorites
from the ocean.

Ever grilled a freshly caught salmon? Mmmmmm.

This description is exactly why I don't like whole crabs. I will sit and
pick them at crab feasts (I live in Maryland, so they're going on most of
the summer) but I won't eat them. I only like claws.

The above was with respect to Dungeness. They are different
from Maryland crabs, and actually the Dungeness body meat
is better (I think) than the claw meat.

Just a tad. Kinda like the difference between pot roast and a good
ribeye.


Both are good, but to different degrees.

Default How do I warm cooked dungeness crab?

When we bother reheating the Dungeness my husband cooks, we use a
large pot with a vegetable steamer and steam the crab pieces until
they're warm enough to eat. Lately, though, he's been happy with
refrigerated crab. When I first met him over 20 years ago he couldn't
eat crab without dipping it in butter.

We've been picking up live crab from 99 Ranch Market on Willow Pass in
Concord. My husband cooks it outdoors in a giant canning kettle using
Penzey's Shrimp and Crab Boil. We do NOT salt the water. The last
batch of crab we picked up (20 in all) was purchased for $2.99 a pound
at 99 Ranch Market.

Hmmm...that sounds like it would be a terrific Christmas Eve dinner. I
need to send him out for fresh crab on Thursday. Friday's dinner will
be pheasant on the smoker, "marinated" overnight in Texas Wild BBQ rub
and then covered in bacon and smoked. According to one of my
husband's friends, it's the best pheasant he's ever had.

YAY! That's my price point. I'll take a look at Ranch 99 over here
in Daly City.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Cold crab is great with a mustard-cream sauce. I grew up in South
Florida, and this was the preferred way to eat Stone Crabs. It works
for Dungeness, too. Here's the recipe:

Alton Brown recommends steaming as the preferred way to reheat
pre-cooked crab, and claims that baking is likely to dry out the meat.
I've done it both ways, with good results.
