Carlos Avila search for Dimsum in San Francisco and posting it on his FB page, reminded me of my article in my blogs about Dimsum and fresh Lumpia- two of my favorite dishes I love to feast on New Year.

Carlos is Macrine's (RIP) nephew, a professional pianist ( not accompanist), a resident of New York City visiting the Bay area for Christmas. However, besides Dimsum and fresh Lumpia my other favorite dish is Dungeness Crab.
Yesterday, I ordered via DoorDash, 8 whole Dungeness Crabs now on sale and available at my local Safeway Store. The 6 whole crabs, I will serve on our New years Day Lunch with Ditas and Carenna. The other two I gave to our neighbor as gift and reciprocation of the Italian dishes she had given me in the past.
The price is
reasonable if you compare buying it from a Chinese or Seafood Restaurant
also via DoorDash. I paid $ 38 for two 2.5-lb pounders cooked crabs
from Safeway. The restaurant price is $50 for one crab cooked in a
variety of spices of your choice. The price does not include delivery,
tips and taxes.
One Crab I ordered from Asia Fusion Restaurant in Garlic Butter and Garnish with Green Onions and Parsley
Here are 2 videos on the opening of the crab season this year in the Bay Area.
Lots of work, but fun and cooking seafood and rice dish right on the Beach
