Devilled Crab

Irish crab is excellent. Stone crabs in particular taste deeply “crabby.” They tend to be very large, and they’re fresh, sweet, briny, meaty, and packed with flavor. “Devilling” foods is an old tradition in the British Isles, a sort of creamy and mustard-sharp treatment that piques your taste buds and heightens the natural sweetness of the food. Devilled crab is often served in the cleaned shells, but it’s just as good in individual ramekins or a shallow single casserole.
