Diving For Dungeness Crab in the San Juan Islands
This weekend a couple friends invited me out to the San Juan Islands where on a smaller island, that someone owns (yes the whole island) is letting us spend the night. Some of the people are going diving on Saturday for Dungeness crab which we will cook up for dinner. I'm certified as an advanced diver, but it has been 4 years since I dove last and that was in Fiji. I think I will leave it up to the avid divers to have the fun, in the chilly waters of the Pacific and hope they run into giant octopus and wolf eels along the way. I'll let you know how we cook them up.
Sea Beans!
Sea Beans! I've found only at farmer's markets although I know there are other places that have occasionally carried them. I have so much more to say about these green, crunchy haricot verts of the ocean but I've been swamped this week. All I can say is that if you find these fantastic sea beans or sometimes called drift seeds, pick yourself up a bag! See this great link about sea beans for the information I wanted to give to you but don't have time to fully share. The Ballard Farmer's Market is where I saw them last.
Quick Tip on Cooking Them: Blanch in boiling water, stop the cooking in an ice-bath, toss lightly in olive oil and either eat them as is or them make a great salad or Asian soup addition.
