At Oceanaire, try the king crab
April 15, 2008

Oceanaire has bought a boatload - literally - of Alaska king crab from the fishing fleet featured in the Discovery Channel’s series Deadliest Catch.
Now the seafood restaurant group owns a whopping 40,000 pounds of king crab, straight from the deck of the vessel Time Bandit. (I’ve only seen the show a few times, but I’m told the boat is owned by the Hillstrand brothers, Andy, Johnathan and Neal.)
I give Oceanaire’s VP of ‘culinary development’ points for bravery: he went to Dutch Harbor to join the crew in the Bering Sea during the last catch of the season. (Three executive chefs went too, but none from the Baltimore location. Guess we have our own crab issues).
But back to the food.
The entree will be served in two and three-pound clusters cracked tableside by Oceanaire servers. It’ll be $36.95/pound (better save up) and should last through 2008.
Deadliest Catch’s fourth season returns to Discovery tonight at 9.
