Disgusting King Crab

[rhetoricfemme]

My love for my husband can never ever be questioned, because I just bought that man king crab and am presently cooking it in my kitchen.

Not only do I have to put up with the horrendous smell, but it looks like a giant creature is emerging from my stove and coming to get me.

Cry.



But yeah. If anyone wants king crab, come on over to my house so it gets eaten faster!

King crabs are no rarity over here, but I've never eaten one.

edit: I totally misspelled crabs. Let's just say there was a p in there.

You are a good wife. I've never cooked King Crab--I've never been fond of it. Plus, the crab has probably been frozen--hence the smell.

I was spoiled as a child growing up near San Franscisco. On his way home from work, my father would stop at Fisherman's Wharf (at that time, many eons ago, they still fished there), and he would pick up fresh Dungeness crab caught that morning, that had already been cooked, straight off the boat. Wonderful! And, because it was so fresh and already cooked--it never smelled. Plus, in our family, we ate it cold--sometimes with melted butter, sometimes with some other kind of sauce.

My family still eats fresh Dungeness crab for Thanksgiving instead of turkey.

Eating crab is too much work. Those things are sharp and scrawny. And, they look like spiders. And, they reek.

While in the Philippines this summer, my step-mother bought fresh crabs for us -- HUGE crabs -- and cooked them... I had the same thoughts as you about it looking like a giant creature coming to get me! And then when it's on your plate... it [i]looks[/i] at you.

I am a wimp when it comes to eating things with eyeballs still in it.

When she made jumbo shrimp for us... she had to break the heads off my shrimp for me because I couldn't stop twitching every time I looked at them. (Oh the shaaaame!) Talk about "mortification of the senses". Needless to say, "epic fail" was my name.

You are a very good and brave wife.

Your dinner's looking at you, and the only thing in your head is that fish telling you, "Just pretend that tear is a bit of butter..."

I'm a seafood wuss, too.

I'm getting closer and closer to a homicidal rage every time I see that thing.

You'll be the first to fall under my wrath*. You've been warned.
