Crab motherfuckin cocktail



This is my Nonnie's old family recipe, and it is the JAM

Feeds 4-6
20-45 minute prep time (depending on how good you are at pickin' dungeness, i'm obviously at the low end of that range)
  • 2 medium to large cooked whole dungeness crabs (1.5-2 lbs each, pick ones on ice rather than packaged ones, and ask the monger if you can squeeze the legs - make sure they are firm with very little give)
  • 1 eight oz. jar of cocktail sauce
  • 2 tbsp maybronnaise
  • 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 scallion stalks
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 1 sleeve of water crackers (or any cracker of your choosing)
  • Medium size serving bowl
  • Claw crackers or cleaned needle nosed pliers
Clean those crabbies, but don't toss all the mustard/tomalley because that adds A LOT of flavor. Add 1/2 teaspoon to the bowl
  1. Pick the crab and put all the meat into the serving bowl. Take great care with gathering the lump meat, its hard to do but so sweet!
  2. Dice the scallions
  3. Mix in the crab with the remainder of the ingredient

(That's just one, i'm a helluva picker)


That's your final delicious product right there
