Tagliolini al nero di seppia con granchio – Venetian squid ink tagliolini with crab
Laura @FeelBetter
Sitting on the edge of one of the most beautiful canals in Venice is the most quintessential place to be to enjoy a chilled glass of prosecco and enjoy squid ink pasta with seafood. It’s busy on the canals, especially the Grand Canal, but it’s really relaxing watching the gondoliers gently kick off the bridges and using a remo (oar) glide their sleek gondolas by.
The gondola seems to have risen out of necessity due to the fact that there aren’t many bridges that cross the waters. Originally made from tree trunks with a flat bottom, shallow hull and pointed prow to easily navigate even the narrowest of Venetian canals.
I’ve brought back from Venice some lovely tagliolini al nero di sepia made from 100% durum wheat semolina, flavoured with squid ink and slow dried. It’s like tagliatelle but thinner and matches well with seafood. Huge spider crabs are eaten as crab salad or tossed with pasta and often served in their shells.
We have a native brown crab here in the waters surrounding the British Isles, Cancer Pagurus. For some reason it’s not very popular to eat crab here in Britain and so most are sold abroad. Their legs have a good quantity of white, sweet meat which is used at the end, the brown meat being used as a base for the sauce. It has a sublime taste and impressive nutritional credentials and perfect to accompany the squid ink pasta. #June2026 #CA2025

Easy Crab and Tomato Cream Spaghetti
Crab means tomato cream sauce to me, so I thought this was a great way to use up leftover crab meat.I wanted to highlight the flavor of the crab, so I didn't add Krazy Salt as I usually do to tomato sauce, but add it if you prefer. Don't mix the sauce too much after adding the crab meat - it won't fall apart as much and you can enjoy the texture more.A previous version of this recipe used a soup stock cube, but I discovered that adding the brown meat or butter from the crab made the sauce really tasty. If you like the brown meat, please be sure to add it! Recipe by Ki-ta

Crab Cream Croquettes Made with Healthy Soy Milk
I made crab cream croquettes using canned crabmeat. It's healthier because of the soy milk.By using the whole can of crab meat, liquid and all, you get all the crab flavor in there.

Avocado and Crab Mimosa Salad
I tried arranging the avocado and crab salad that I usually just mix together mimosa-style. I had some time so I tried making it in a circular mold.Avocado can discolor easily so make it last. Be sure to sprinkle it with lemon juice to prevent it from changing color.You can use crab in vinegar sauce instead of the plain crab used here.If you don't have a circular mold, try serving this in a clear glass. For 2 servings. Recipe by noriran

How To Shell a Hair Crab
I used to avoid kegani (hair crab) because it can hurt you and it was a bother to shell. If only I'd know how to do it earlier, so I decided to upload the steps.Use the crab meat in salads, crab rice, crab omelettes, crab fried rice, crab croquettes and so on.It's hard to get the meat out of the claws and joints, so if you boil them with the shelled legs, you can use the stock for miso soup or hot pots.Try mixing the brown meat (the "miso" of the crab) with the white meat in the shell - delicious.

~Northern Thai Bamboo Shoot Salad with Fermented Crab Paste~
Fermented crab paste and bamboo shoot salad with crab paste are traditional dishes from Northern Thailand. I love eating sticky rice with bamboo shoot salad with crab paste. I usually keep fermented crab paste in the fridge to make chili paste and bamboo shoot salad. If I have 'forest bamboo shoots', which have a unique spicy, tangy, and slightly bitter taste, I enjoy it even more. These bamboo shoots are abundant during the rainy season, growing in the mountains. They are popular in Northern and Northeastern Thailand. They are often boiled and dipped in chili paste, cooked in curry with yanang leaves, or made into bamboo shoot salad and soup in the Isaan style. Typically, I buy pre-boiled ones and then boil them again. A key ingredient in Northern-style bamboo shoot salad is 'ginger leaves', which enhance the aroma of the salad. The fragrance of the crab paste and ginger leaves is delightful and lingers on your hands. It's truly delicious!
