Bought two Hokkaido Tarabakani たらばかに King Crab from Isetan today. I believe the Hokkaido species are red king crabs.
Not going to do much preparation for them… just prepare some ghee with garlic, some lemon, and hopefully some freshly-grated horseradish cocktail sauce (I don’t care if cocktail sauce sounds cheezy or not). If I can find a nice ripe mango I’ll slice one up to accompany it.
Other dishes? Dunno. I bought some bonito flakes, some dried kelp, dried hotate (scallops), some kana surime (fish/crab paste), and white miso, so I will probably brew up some sort of soup, too.

It was fun having her here for a really happy dinner. [...]
