Crabs are a pain in the butt to eat, but I LOVE them in a light tomato sauce. I don't think anything else flavors a sauce quite like them. Spaghetti with crab sauce: one of the flavors of my youth.

For TB, DC and SC: Did you guys do any crabbing out in Sheepshead Bay growing up? God, I loved it out there. When I was a kid, I'd stay at my Uncle Nick's in East New York on a Friday night, then he'd take me out early Saturday morning. It was great. Come to think of it, it was the afternoons at Randazzo's that I treasure the most.
