Alaskan King Crab Festival
After I have moved to Vancouver 17 years ago, I have started to enjoy the Alaskan King Crab Festival in March every year and usually I will go for the Chinese recipe at the Cantonese Restaurant…
This year I have had totaly 3 King Crab meals over the 4 weeks period and last night (Sat) was the largest one I have had this year the crab weight apoprox 15lbs and 7 of us sharing it.
1st dish Steamed with Chinese Hua Diao Wine
2nd Steam with Garlic
3rd Stir-fried in special spicy sauce( which taste like the Japanese Brand Calbee Potato Chips flavour)
4th dish Fried Rice in Portugese Sauce ( actually a sauce with yellow curry powder but not spicy) and serve in the Shell…

Gosh! 15lb is just as heavy as a bowling ball! The fried rice dish looks very delicious, I’d like to try someday.
@CurryPuffy - the server who was holding the crab for us to take pic, said it’s really heavy…., I bet you guys also have this in Calif?
you’ll have to let me know the name of that restaurant … I’m out in Vancouver in a couple weeks.
@agmhkg - Yes, but seldom that big!
