Is that the ones you eat whole? dunno man lol

 

[Oerdin]

they pull out the in edible parts then batter and fry them so you can eat them whole. It is the easiest and best way to eat crab. I lived in Baltimore for a year in 4th grade, the place was a shithole even back then, but the one saving grace was the seafood. You'd have crab shacks (literal shacks made out of whatever spare wood people could find for free) where fisherman and their wives would sell their catch and for a few bucks more cool it as well.

Most had tanks where they'd hold the crabs close to multing so they could sell the soft shell crabs right after the shed their shell. Best crab experience ever.

I love all shellfish except oysters but I've always been put off by the thought of eating a crab whole but I may try it now you've eased my mind about eating guts and dead mans fingers...
Theres a vid of strictly dumpling eating crab innards lol I'll see if I can find it...

The guts, mouth, and gills are all removed then the rest fried. It is truly all great crab without the shell cracking plus the amazing deep fried crunch. Furthermore oysters are amazing. Anyone who has not had oysters Rockefeller is missing out.

You're gonna think I'm weird but I love asparagus.

A knob of real butter, salt and black pepper then wrapped in bacon and fried... Heavenly...

"Real butter", what do you use for butter these days?

Personally I think certain brands of butter have changed in the past year. They hardly even melt. Mess up my stomach more too. I usually use Country Crock tubs, and Land O Lakes sticks.

 

[Oerdin]

I do like kerrygold simply for the higher content of butter fat.

Country Crock is margarine not real butter. Personally, I usually buy Kerry Gold Irish butter as it has a high butter fat content and lower water content compared to most American butters. That means it spreads very smoothly and has a nice creamy flavor.

My favourite supermarket butter is Lurpak... It carries more flavour than anything I've tried and the price reflects it...

Where is that from?

If it really is to hot then you could always just cut it with something else. Maybe blend water, tomato, and garlic mix it to your desired heat level then let it firment a bit more to help smooth things out.
