Crab-tastic Times Await at Aqua blue Starting March 16

Stone crab season really rocks, especially when we're talking about the upcoming Crabfest bonanza at Aqua blue in Roswell. From Tuesday, March 13 through Monday, April 16, Executive Chef/Co-founder John C. Metz will offer the crab-tastic cuisine featuring stone crabs raised under sustainable methods in wild fisheries. Get stoned, in the culinary sense, on dishes such as sherry-spiked she-crab soup with spiced hominy frite ($7); jumbo lump crab cakes with avocado, mango, chili aioli, rice wine vinegar and wasabi honey mustard ($15); soft-shell crab rolls made with thin asparagus, crab cake, sweet herb, futomaki, soy paper and red tobiko ($14); chilled Florida stone crab claws (MP); drunken crab legs -- a combo of king and snow crab legs served with tri-color tiny potatoes, corn on the cob slather and jicama slaw ($30); and large Florida stone crab claws served with green peppercorn cocktail, traditional mustard sauce, tri-color tiny potatoes, corn on the cob slather and jicama slaw (MP). The USDA says stone crabs pack in low-fat protein, vitamin B6, selenium and magnesium so come out of your shell and get crabby with the rest of them at Aqua blue.
