Surfin and Turfin

Having always been asked to make at least one meal that would be hearty enough to satisfy a manly man..lol i figured why not. king crab a product i have always veered away from is in abundance as of late so doing some last minute experimentation's before my winter menu goes into effect.I have done 3 runs with batches of king crab and to my surprise i have sold out each run. The market price that crab is at currently allows us to give a larger product and still not leave the customer feeling like they got robbed. In this application we took one whole crab leg with lump joint cut in half on both sides to remove the cover creating a crab boat if you will then warm the meat with melted yuzu butter and persillade. stuffed the boat and baked it with our butter parsley crumbs.served it as a surf and turf with aromatic butter basted prime strip steak,

roasted garlic mashed potato,sweet and sour green beans, smoked tomato butter and Gouda stuffed onion rings...it looks a little heavier than it actually was. this is by far the ultimate surf and turf....maybe a king crab cake in the near future?? king bisque?... you can enjoy the stuffed crab alone at the restaurant you get 2 for for $17 a meal in its self.
