How to Cook a Giant Invasive Crab

Back in January 2022 head chef Will Murray gave an insight into the recent invasion of King Crabs into British waters 🦀
Will spoke to ‪@theGuardian‬ about the crabs: www.theguardia...
Whilst the arrival of these poses a threat to our native sea life, we can help minimise their impact by responsibly fishing and enjoying this stunning Crab 🔥
We served it with our Jerusalem artichoke purée, pickled lemon, and a spicy crab sauce.

4:40 "So you just take off this removeable flap.." - I don't know about "removeable", but it comes off alright.. 😂

An excellent demonstration from beginning to end. You showed a clear understanding of both your suppliers and habitat of the produce you use.

King Crab in the UK.......Meanwhile the Alaskan Season was cancelled because about a billion of them give or take are missing.

[@dannjrad2109]

It was Snow Crab season, not the King season that was cancelled.

thank you chef Jack Croft and Chef Will Murphy!

Hope the fishermen can respond quickly, could be a huge win-win if the population can be reduced and the ecological balance preserved.

I'd love to see what you guys do with the Atlantic Blue Crab that we have here in the U.S.

Do you know how we name such “giant” crab here in Russia? We call it: “oh little baby, come back when you grow up 😊” ant let him free 😁

It helps that there’s a ready market for crab.

Singaporean chili crab, my friend. Give it a try.

Thinking about restaurant nuts and bolts and pennies, the crab itself, is it cheaper because it's invasive? The labor involved in picking the crab meat, preserving the cabbage, making the artichoke puree and the chili puree, foraged greens. So a lot of labor, fairly inexpensive ingredients, and a great story to tell on a menu. Do customers pay more, do you think because of the head on the plate? Looks "fancy" but seems to ruin the height, and delicate plating. I'm going to check your menu and see how much this costs. ...Hmmm... 25 poundsish since there's not the same crab on the menu now. That's 31 dollars. You definitely don't go to get full, you go for the story and the uniqueness? For the "brand" of using sustainable? I think it looks delicious and amazing, don't get me wrong. I'm always just curious about how items are priced and why.

Pretty unethical kill on that crab, it was fully conscious there. Should be chilled into torpor before hitting the cutting board, more humane and you avoid any risk of getting hurt by desperately flailing limbs.

[@wesswess8361]

[@atsgaud9849]
