Title: Dinner
Post by: LizStreithorst on February 16, 2013, 06:18:54 PM
No potato chip sandwiches for me, thank you very much.  I made boiled snow crab legs with lemon butter for dinner.  It was so easy to make and it was a work of art.  I have all the shells left over to make a good fish stock from.  They have little bits of crab in them.  Just imagine the flavor they will give to a fish stew.

Dang, I'm making myself hungry even though I'm full to the gill.

I got mine from a guy who came around in a truck selling shrimp and oysters.  Then they pulled out the frozen Snow Crab!  He came to my shop.  I don't have the sign up that says that people wanting to sell me something must stay away. I think that would be rude.  I generally just give money to people I feel are true.  Sometimes they come by with their over the top stuff like snow crab.

That sounds good but I couldn't have it :( I have a shellfish allergy. I found out about that by eating lobster. The bad thing is I like the lobster. nothing sucks more than liking what you can't have. I'll have to stick with the potato chip sandwich LOL.

Every couple of months I go to Issacson's and Steins, it's right around Halstead and Lake St's. I think it's on Market St. at Halstead. If it swims anywhere they have it or can get it. They are a wholesaler for food type fish. I always get a couple of dozen clams oysters and a Dungeoness or a couple pounds of snow crab legs. i bought some polpo or Octopus there last time and grilled it after I soaked it in sweet red wine for a bit. A little olive oil and some tomatoes basil and garlic paste over fava beans and you have something nice. Go early if you make the trip.

Please don't talk about Dungeoness.  I had forgotten how wonderful it is and you've made me remember.
