Having lived in California all my life, I find it hard to be impressed by Seattle's Chinese food offerings. But on Sunday, my taste buds met their match.
Say hello to this handsome fellow, a king crab weighing in at what the waiter described as a middling 8 pounds (!), presented to us before he went off to slaughter during the restaurant's half off special on king crabs. At $11 slaughtered and cooked, it truly wasn't worth it to buy it and cook it at home.
First preparation: garlic pepper fried! Always a hit, this is the most flavorful preparation.
Second: garlic steamed. I think this preparation best showed off the tenderness and flavor of king crab as compared to the more commonly eaten Dungeness.
And the entertainment and filler for the evening: glutinous rice with crab pieces and the head presented as a trophy to your table.

What restaurant in Seattle was this at?
Wow, so awesome. *drool*
Restaurant names are always in the blog post title: V Garden! If you're in the area, hurry. The 1/2 off special won't last forever, and neither will king crab season.
Major DROOOOOOLLLL....
WOW!!! That looks AMAZING!!! I so want crab for lunch now but in Atlanta I'm sure it won't taste as pleasing as that looks. Thanks for sharing
Holy shit. So envious.
