Summer time, super fresh crab, a bit of cocktail sauce on a toasty, buttery sandwich roll. These are the ingredients for a lazy warm afternoon meal on the deck, dock, or beach blanket. Dungeness is my favorite, but any type crab of choice is the star of this tasty treat. Substitute lobster meat for the crab and create the ultimate seafood delight.
A durable melamine Zak plate and tumbler set are a great way to serve this delectable outdoor delicacy. A bright circle of flowers surround your food and a cold, icy glass of green tea sipped through colorful Zak straws make this meal completely fun and festive.
