Today is National Crab Day, also called National Crabmeat Day. I love crabmeat and I guess there are many crabmeat lovers like me as 1.5 million tons of crab is consumed every year around the world. I love crabmeat broiled, baked, stuffed, as a topping for fish, boiled as a dip, in crabcakes or in soups and chowders. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is just steamed or broiled and dipped in a garlic wine butter — the list can go on and on. We are lucky because now we can enjoy crab legs year-round. Some of those that are most popular are the local blue crab, the hard to crack stone crab, Dungeness, king and snow crabs.
