My favourite places are the cheap and cheerful places: very bright lights; plastic tablecloths; skimpy paper napkins; no atmosphere. But amazing crab. On this trip, though, we're being treated in style, so the restaurant is a step or two up from the ordinary: Jumbo Seafood.
At Jumbo, the open kitchen and floor to ceiling tanks of all manner of live crustaceans - including a particularly ugly geoduck - make for a different kind of Chilli Crab experience. Still, the stacks of paper napkins, big water bowls and disposable bibs remind us that this is a place where messy fingers are expected.
Appetisers include Fried Prawns with Cereal; Donut with Seafood Paste (essentially deep fried dough stuffed with cuttlefish paste); Deep Fried Bean Curd; Marinated Jellyfish
The delicious Chilli Crab
Although I haven't tried this recipe from Tyler Florence, the ingredients look like they'd make a mighty fine mess 'o chilli crab. Let me know if you try it!
