Regarding the beans, they chew on them a bit. Mostly they love that they can throw them, they make a “thunk” when they hit the floor and they can bat them about. Now raw asparagus stalks? Those they eat! But I don’t give them many as I like asparagus too much to share heaps.
As for the crabs, they give you the crabs straight from the steamer, they are not cleaned. I put them in a insulated bag and by the time I get home they are cool enough to clean but still warm enough to eat. They do reheat well (if I have overbought) and I feel comfy eating them one or two days later.
You are so right.
I’ve been doing the " crack and eat" for a few days now, and actually slowed down the eat part long enough to put some aside. I was thinking of dressing up just about a 1/2 cup before I went to bed.
I DID do a version of the remoulade…with a bit of black garlic, no celery root, no red onion, extra carrots, extra celery, extra scallions.
Does anybody know if the boats at Pillar Point Harbor have started selling crab again with the new Covid orders in effect as of Monday? The hotline hasn’t been updated since March.
We were at Johnson Pier (Pillar Point) this last Friday. The pier itself was cordoned off to visitors. Don’t know if its reopened since. Will probably cruise down in a couple of days to check it out again, will report back if its open for business.
Great thanks! My poor nephew graduates from HS and without the pomp of a formal graduation (they dropped off a cap and gown to his house) so we wanted to make him a crab feast. New England Lobster Co. has them for $8.95/lb and when I was at Sun Fat in SF two weeks ago they didn’t have any.
The Chron reports that the gear that was lost was “used to deliver approximately two-thirds of San Francisco’s fresh seafood,” and KQED reports that each operation lost about $300,000 of equipment, for a total loss of about $9 million. It gets worse: According to ABC 7, most crab fishermen aren’t insured against fire, which means that their losses might be permanent — and without their gear, recovery seems impossible.
… the fire took out “crab traps and salmon tanks and hydraulic blocks and herring nets and buoys and black cod traps and shrimp traps and replacement transmissions and spare parts and tools and extra propellers and forklifts” — and all of that equipment is necessary “to continue working and bringing fresh seafood to San Francisco.”
