For some strange reason I have an idea that some fried cod roe would be nice just now (well not at midnight, but you know what I mean).

Weirdly I haven't had ony of that for years.

We are seeing really wonderful crabs here in Cannes (Golfe Juan), having moved along from Rome. I have never dressed a crab...any tips? Having eaten the meat, can you make decent crab soup from shell and remains? Any tips or refer to another thread?

assuming you remove the dead mens fingers I'd have thought you could get a good stock from them ?
