Watchin John Besh this weekend cook one on his show. Looked good and very simple. I like simple dishes. Was made the way I expected. Nothing more.
Unitl he got fancy with his crabs. He took crab halfs and tosed them in a shallow pan with olive oil. I never tried this. Does this do anything extra that is worth doing? He then tossed in shrimp and kept stiring for a while. Then he put the crabs and shrimp in the coubion. Looked good, I just never heard of putitng crab halfs in a a hot pan of oil.

Well, I never heard of putting crabs and shrimp in a courtbullion. Sounds tasty, though.

I've had that dish many times at Luke's, Besh's restaurant in the New Orleans CBD. It is excellent.

I can see where a stock made with crabs might give it a little kick in overall flavor, but not too much else. There are a few things that are family secrets for a courtboullion that will make taste buds dance.

Red fish is good for a courtbullion becasue of its firmness. It tends not to fall apart in the liquid, just dont stri too much.
