Of all the shellfish, for me crab would ultimately have to be the most satisfying, as it requires greater effort and a certain determination to prise the sweet goodness from its shell. Nowadays we tend to eat too quickly, with more time spent cooking than eating. With crab the reverse is true, as the speed and simplicity of the cooking enables us to spend more time savouring the experience of eating. With their clean taste and firm texture, blue swimmer crabs are delicious and require little more accompaniment than some dark rye bread, a little crème fraîche and a good bottle of wine.
