why Unterman is calling it a “noodle wrapper”. The most expensive XLB that I am aware of is the whole crab XLB at Koi...but then again, it is an entire dungeness crab deshelled, wrapped in perfect XLB wrapper, and...

(by de-shelling all the mussels and then eating it all with a spoon). My ignorance I suppose. Also, I ordered the tempura-battered soft shell crab. Very bland. And the batter was waaayyy too heavy and a bit greasy. I think I will...

I think those would be razor clams. Lovely when sauted with white wine too. If you like them, you can try Chinese supermarkets for live ones. Totally delicious, but need to go online to read user manual about how to de-shell and...

Which is also why I hate eating fried clams w/ the stomach, even though people seem to love it because it contains the “taste of the sea” :-) Peapod stems are good. The salt&pepper shrimp is good, but you have to go...

was as if we were the only ones there. Attentive, knowledgable, friendy. We shared 2 appetizers, one was skewers of fresh mussels over sauteed artichokes (loved it). I was surprised that they de-shelled them & literally lined up...

, anything bigger than that, other than beef ribs which are always meant to be picked up, isn’t to be picked up, imo). Shellfish that is not already de-shelled should be de-shelled with the utensils provided, but held with...

In Ontario...Loblaws. 17.97 CDN for 3.5 lbs Jealous huh? =) I had a king crab omelette this morning. Also, spent 3 hours deshelling like 10lbs of it yesterday. I have a big pile of king crab leg meat sitting in a container in my...

I know this is a bland request, but I’m having a brain cramp... I have a friend in town who wants lobster, but is not excited about the whole shelling thing. I know any of the steakhouses will de-shell it, but are there...

You need to peel them while they are still warm. Once they cool completely, they are impossible to de-shell.

a bread crumb batter. I also wonder why they did not have fresh oysters? Hmmm..maybe the oysters they get comes de-shelled. Salmon bowl. Nothing wrong with this dish, but fairly simplistic and basic. $11.95. They scooped 2-3...

paella is more about the rice. Yes there’s seafood in paella and you can use fish stock, but paella doesn’t shout “WOW I got a seafood dinner!” as much as cioppino. After whatever shellfish you choose for...

After you’ve cooked the shrimp, if you’ve not eaten the shells (if you deep-fried 'em), or if you’ve de-shelled the shrimp before cooking, save the shells for stock. I usually fry the shells in some peanut oil...

few peppercorns in it; it seemed like something one would eat out of the bag while watching a football game. The Beggar’s Chicken was a big hit with the group, de-shelled with a hammer and carved tableside. It was savory...

guacamole and papaya juice. This was a dish I found a bit aggressive, for my own tastes. Three medium sized prawns are deshelled until the tail and perched with their backs on the plate, in a brown circular base of guacamole. The...

the de-shelling for you and that costs. Mabel of Mabel’s Lobster Claw in Kennebunkport told me a few years ago to expect to pay at least $12 for a great lobster roll. I’m not one to dare argue with Mabel and besides...
