On the other hand, bigrig:
How often have you seen people request the 3rd method, to be
done in a crab congee? As oppose to the usual fried/baked rice/noodles?

and FYI to those who maybe wondering why my price is at my price. yes, T&T and osaka and maybe a few of those smaller grocery stores had a promotion last week for $10.95-$12 per lb. what you should know is that ALL the crab those stores carry, are "rejected" crabs from all of the big king crab suppliers, us included. they are either soft shell, low meat content, missing legs, weak or a combination of all of them, thats why they can and did sell for that cheap. as of today, T&T is selling for $14.88 per lb.

if you were to ask me which restaurants have the best quality king crab (taste and price aside) i would recommend:
sun sui wah (rmd or van)
kirin (any of them except for coquitlam)
shiang garden
jade
sea harbour
lucky tao
fisherman's terrace

At Kirin try the king crab steamed in rose wine and egg white. They have some 15lb @ the 3rd road place yesterday. It is a King Crab holocaust there last night... You can also get King Crab 4 ways (fried rice + noodles).. they will do anything you want as long as you pay the extras.. Kirin is 16.80 a pound, fried rice is $16 .. etc etc
The guy to talk to @ starlight is Anderson.. There is another guy called Jon, who is a car enthusiasts and owns successions of GTI.

from all my years of unloading and loading king crab, i think ive only come across 4-5 15 lbs crabs. for this restaurant to claim to have a few, is funny as hell

i find sun sui wah to rip you off the most...its never the weight they say it is.
And with pricing, most places are about the same. The ones that quote lower usually to have it prepared in 2 ways so you have to add more to get it 3 or 4 ways.

I don't know how you guys can share a 12lb king crab amongst 8-10 people.
It's so good I can eat half of one myself! Take out the fried rice - I am pretty sure I can eat all the legs + body.
True story, I finished a 7lb lobster myself from T&T and two 2lb lobster at a restaurant in LA.  seafood

and, no. price doesnt necessarily mean one less way of preparing it.
pricing at sun sui wah, kirin, sea harbour, jade, shiang garden differ greatly from those at say lucky tao, fortune garden, continental, imperial court.
and just so YOU know, since you think you know everythin...the lower the price of the king crab, the MORE they will scam you. restaurants that set their selling price higher, cater to customers who can afford more. they dont NEED to set a low price to get ppl into their restaurants and at the same time, dont wanna fuck over any of their existing customers.

prawn prices, hard to beat retailers like T&T, since they go direct to fishermen, but im sure i can do like 0.25 cheaper and i can guarantee my product is even more fresh than what they get.
my other main product is live dungeness crab. we have those all year round

Yeah, my family is in the fisher business too. I get crabs all year long and stuff. But it's the prawns that I die for.
AMAZINGLY fresh, so lively, they hop everywhere.
We just do them as sashimi, shell them, pop them in the freezer for just a couple minutes until their muscles lock up. They taste just BEAUTIFUL.

im going to BOLD and enlarge the following just so you are all aware. VERY important information for ppl who like to eat seafood, especially raw seafood!!!! you wouldnt get food poisoning from prawns, if the areas that they are fished out of are open (by the DFO - department of fisheries) and the holding tanks on the boats are clean and free of any e-coli or staph bacteria. fishermen and suppliers alike abide by strict provincial, and some, federal rules and guidelines.
food poisoning in bivalve shellfish (animals with 2 shells - ie: oysters, clams, scallops) happen more often than food poisoning in other shellfish such as crabs, lobster, shrimp, prawns etc.
with bivalves, the rules and guidelines are even more strict. (also harder to get a license to process bivalves, than to get a license for fresh/frozen processing of live crabs/prawns/lobsters). In bivalves, there is a risk of PSP(red tide) and sanitary contamination. every step of processing (picking, storing, transport, receiving, storing, distribution) is closely monitored to prevent or lower the risk of food poisoning.
it's important, when buying seafood for consumption in raw state, you buy from FEDERALLY licensed and established companies(if you are buying direct). there are a lot of seafood retailers, distributors who are only PROVINCIALLY licensed and those facilities do not have as many checks and monitoring procedures for their products. | |
