Get Crabby Tasting
Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Grill is giving seafood and shellfish lovers the chance to indulge in soft-shell crab during the restaurant’s annual tasting and month-long celebration dedicated to the delicacy. The Bluewater “Get Crabby” Tasting on June 11 features soft-shell crab prepared two ways – sautéed with crab lemon caper beurre blanc with fingerling potato salad and vinegar aioli and tempura-style and served with Asian vegetable salad and cilantro vinaigrette – paired with a Kungfu Girl Riesling from Washington and an Acrobat Pinot Gris from Oregon. This cost of the celebration is $40 per person, and reservations are recommended due to expected demand. The special feast can be ordered off the menu throughout the month and paired with the featured varietal. Soft-shell crab is a culinary term for crabs which have recently molted their old exoskeleton and are still soft, making them entirely edible. The most popular variety in the U.S., the Blue Crab, is typically served May through September deep-fried or sautéed.
