Loulou, a great shot! I love crabs, but I do not know how to approach a crab that comes straight from the market. What is the simplest way to prepare it, or to get the meat out of it.
I buy them in Cannes froma special shop, and in the marmiton web siet, I founf a few interesting recipes, my favorite being: http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_omelette-au-crabe_32852.aspx
It's submlime and I wish I could learn more about how to work with it.
Bonjour, Loulou! Thanks so much for the recent comment ;) Your photos of Frances are so beautiful - I've just looked at many. I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I have not had the chance to try crabs plucked from off the coast of France. I love the crab we have in the US be it the blue crab from the east coast or the dungeness crab just coming into season from the Pacific ocean. I will have to keep my eye out for them at the market when we return to Provence next year.

We seldom eat crab though I love it. Too much trouble to get the meat out :-) Great photo and love the orange baskets. Have a good week Diane

I loved the orange baskets too. I've never tried cooking a tourteau, mainly because I think that Dungeness crabs are the best!

In Seattle we always ate ours steamed, then dipped in butter. I'm afraid I don't have any tips...sorry!
