Crab tips
Silly boy! Don't you know you are not supposed to cook crabs unless they are alive and wriggling? Otherwise, you risk ptomaine (stomach poisoning.) Thank God you survived. BTW, frozen crabs are okay, like the Alaska King Crab claws. But you know they are frozen fast while they are still fresh and remain frozen till they reach your kitchen. But they are expensive.
BTW, I got the 6 F's at once because I noticed the "OF"s right off. Does this make me a genius or what? Hah!

Crab fishing
Hope you recovered from the crabs.
As kids we would catch live ones free off the breakwater in Redondo Beach. We would obtain a fish head and some string from a fish shop and lower it carefully amid the rocks in the Breakwater, After several minutes we would retrieve the fish head with sometimes three crabs holding on and devouring the fish head. Bring them home in sea water and boil them in the salt water of the ocean and they were delicious.
The smell was a lot better than in your case.
Thanks for your great selection and artistic talents.

Crab Tip from a Chef
Hi Raoul,
Nice newsletter. Being a chef hobbyist cooking is a great passion of mine. I also hail from Boston and went to college in Maine. Thus, seafood and shellfish is my favorite. Here is another great tip. When cooking crab or lobsters, use a pot big and deep enough so that the lobsters don't or barely touch the sides. They are done perfectly when they float to the surface. You do not need timers, or watch the clock or anything. Also, as you correctly pointed out, ALWAYS buy live crab and lobster unless they have already been cooked. With fish, always check the eyes and the smell as fish deteriorates rapidly. The eyes should be clear and not foggy (white like cataract look to them). Clear eyes means fresh fish.
Keep up the great newsletter.
My best
Greg
