Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
I can't really participate in the discussion at hand.. allergic to shellfish.
But....
A bone in steak? pass... gimme a nice Filet Med-Rare... Bone in cooks it all the way through. I like to taste the blood, and not have to put steak sauce on a dry steak.

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
That's too bad. 2 years ago I had four of them airfreighted from Angelina's to a Ravens fan stranded in Texas. He was just an anonymous internet poster who happened to be a graphic designer. At no charge he recreated the font for the famous letters on old Memorial stadium and we used it for our award winning float that year at the Roost convention. He said he missed Baltimore badly and he was stuck in Texas for his work, so i sent him some crabcakes. He and his wife said they loved 'em.

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
Apparently the mailorders have maintained original ownership and are still good. The actual resturant has gone downhill though. I live right down the street from them and about 4 weeks ago it went up for public auction as a turnkey operation. Wonder if things will go up. Anyone ever try the place I mentioned, Koco's? Really good. I cant recomend them enough.

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
By the way, what's up with a crabcake sandwich? We don't want filler in our crabcake, so why put the crabcake in between two pieces of filler. My wife only wants the best crabcakes and then puts it in a roll. I don't get it.WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you.

No, Thank you Ray... :ww:

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
Nothing, that's where you start. It's if and when you pick up something to "hammer" the crab open that you show yourself to be a non-crabeater.

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
Not sure you're doing anything wrong..."cracking open" can be construed a couple of ways. Greg is correct that if you know what you are doing it is a simple matter to get at the meat without using a mallet but opening some claws could require more than the sharp end of a knife.
As an aside, I was in the eastern Carribean the last couple of weeks and caught a crab with my bare hands while wading...it was a blue crab. I had no idea they could live in that water.

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
I used to use the knife & not the mallet until I stabbed myself in the finger. Kind of made picking hard the rest of the night.
Forgive me lord for having picked a bajillion crabs since with a mallet and not a knife, and teaching my children the same terrible habit. :grbac:Festivus

Re: OT- Crabcakes in O.C
It it does make a cracking sound.
I think Greg equated a big crack as when an amateur smashes the shit out of a beautiful crab and probably gets about 30% of the meat out of it.
I do sometimes use a mallet when getting the claw meat (which is about 1/10 as good as the backfin) because you can't always get all of the meat out by just separating and pulling.
On a side note. Anyone ever sat down with a person who is trying to eat a crab for the 1st time? It's pretty damn funny.
