Great treat for summer, although I have been enjoying this sandwich during the fall. If you are not a fan of seafood, I beg you to give crab a chance. When I was little my brothers and I would go fishing with my Dad on my grandpa's yacht in the Northwest. Fish, crab, shrimp, mussels, oysters have all been a part of my food favorites from such a young age. One summer, my family took our boat out for a week and traveled around the San Juan Islands, crabbing all the while. How yummy! I am not talking about fake carb, faux crab, imitation crab....whatever you want to call it. That crap doesn't count as crab. Real crab, pulled from the sea. That's the good stuff! You can buy lump crab meat at specialty seafood stores and I recently found it at my Costco! How convenient. This is a fab sandwich served with a great homemade cocktail sauce, that literally takes less than a minute to whip up and impress your friends with. Pair this sauce with roasted shrimp, crab, or cocktail shrimp.
For the Sauce:
1 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup Homade Chile Sauce
1/4 cup Beaver Horseradish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
Squeeze of lemon
Combine in bowl. I tend to add more Beaver horseradish and chile sauce. I also add a dash of Chipotle Tabasco to taste.
For the Sandwich:
2 slices good, crusty white bread toasted. (I eat it open-faced with only 1 slice)
2 leaves of Bibb lettuce
Lump Crab meat, a few tablespoons
Squeeze of Lemon
Salt
Pepper
1/2 tablespoon Homemade cocktail sauce
Schmear of good mayo
Layer the sandwich and drink with a glass of iced-tea!
