"We have to stop seeing the crabs as a plague and see them as a resource," said Norway's fisheries minister, Svein Ludvigsen. Why, oh why, do people constantly see everything as a threat? Crab meat is a delicacy that will provide a lot of income to their country and provide jobs and stability for thousands, and yet because it is something out of the norm, people want to get rid of the crabs.

until Orlov hit on a survival of the fittest test -- meaning the new crab stock may be even tougher than their Pacific cousins. Oh great! This is worse than the Africanized honeybees! The world is doomed! Except, of course, that you can eat them... :^)

There was a place in Sumter, SC, that served all you can eat crab legs once a week. One of their side dishes was the most amazing sweet potatoes. An odd combination but it WORKED.
I used to like the Cajun Crab Boil here at Crabtown in OKC...but they toned it down too much. If you don't REQUIRE heartburn meds afterward, it's not worth doing. They do replace the occasional tragically-empty crab leg that you'll get now and then. (What causes that anyway?)
Really, even the Russkis couldn't screw up king crab legs.

My Jamaican wife has what appears to be a strange taste: she will have a spicy soup and a sweet cake instead of crackers with it. I would guess a sweet potato would work quite well with the crab: the savory and the sweet would complement each other pretty well....
Crabs this size would keep you eating for HOURS at a sitting... and if there are so many of them, maybe the price of good crab would come down to a decent range!

Sounds fair to me... garlic and cheese in the spuds and hot butter for the crab... In fact, that sounds REAL good! Gotta get me some of those crabs!
