Is this a current shot from the kitchen?

WTF is krab?

It's fake crab. I believe it's pollock or some other white fish processed and dyed to make it remotely resemble crab meat to those with no taste. I live on the coast, I can't believe shit like that even has a market here.

Down here we boil them... great eating.

Pacific coast, right?

[JCW]

Fresh boiled crab is one of my fave foods in the world. I like it better than lobster even. Mmmmm.

[JCW]

Pacific coast, right?

Yup. Out in the Pacific Ocean actually. Maybe that's why I'm a seafood snob.

If it's already dead, it's all good. If it's alive and kicking and I see it, there is no way I'm eating it.

I used to live in Seattle. I miss having good Salmon

[Anhil8tor]

We get all our seafood from the gulf of mexico

[bam]

I am looking forward to vacation this year. Fresh seafood. Mmm. Ohio seafood? Yuck.

They only scream a little when you throw 'em in the boil.

Nice! I grew up in the Seattle area, I definitely appreciate a big fresh salmon. So good, especially on the BBQ. YUM.

[bam]

Yeah, the screaming would kill me.

[leucifer]

Yeah, the screaming would kill me.

Pretty sure it kills them too.

[JCW]

Mmmm, sweet, delicious death. :drool:

[bam]

I just can't be the reason they get killed is all. I couldn't pick out a lobster or something and be like "I want that one" and know that it's going to be screaming in pain a few minutes later. Oh no. That would haunt me.

You know they don't really scream, right?

[bam]

Yeah, I've heard that before. Something about them not even having vocal chords. The high pitch noise- is that just like air or something though?

Yeah, something like steam being released from between the animal's body and its shell. Also a stufy from 2005 suggests they don't even feel pain. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/02/1...3989.shtml

Those crab cakes smell great!

I'm going to smash them!

I'd like to see more chef threads too.
