Introduction

The crab is for me the kings of the crustaceans. For its tender, delicate and sweet flesh. In my opinion even better then lobster, despite the price difference, which is certainly not what does judge the goodness of a species, but often only reflects the market's demand, its more or less abundance in nature and certainly, the costs for his capture. On the palate its like a cross between lobster, for its delicate flavor and the prawns for his sweet head. But with a difference and the advantage of a meat that melts in your mouth. An incredible tender pulp.

Always remember: within the fishes and shellfishes the females are always the bests. As in our life! And usually the most expensive, for her eggs. Choose well then!. And to help you recognize the difference, I report here some proof of the genitals at the bottom. Valid for both spider crab or similar crabs. Also a knowledge to give you some more respect from your fishmonger. (Female first two, the last two male)

Because of its sweet taste, I chose the combination with the green pepper, which already go hand in hand and I haven't added any wine given the acidity from the tomato. But feel free to use wines or spirits, they won't do any bad
