花蟹粥 Blue Swimmer Crab Congee with garlic oil, garnished with shredded ginger, coriander and spring onions served with a 油条 Chinese doughnut.
mmm... --- We decided to have blue swimmer crab congee for dinner one night, so I got a couple of fresh blue swimmer crabs from the Queen Vic Market for around AUD7 (AUD15.99/kg), and a Golden Bream (AUD13.99/kg) for later.
As it turns out, the blue swimmer crabs were really fresh! They smelt briney like the sea, with not even the faintest whiff of ammonia or fishiness. I tasted some of the raw roe and it was fantastic! Not as rich as the kani miso I had in Japan, but very tasty nonetheless. I also tried some of the raw flesh and that was tasty too and it just seemed to melt in your mouth, but not that tasty. Perhaps that's why you never find raw crab on the menu in Japan, always cooked or grilled.
I removed the gills, broke them in half, and into the pot of congee. The shells went under the grill.
The resulting congee was very tasty, but the flesh of the crab was tastier still! Blue Swimmer Crab Congee
