I couldn’t get a spider crab at home when I needed it, so I got one in Venice & took it to a restaurant I knew & she gave me the cooking details. It is Marinella from La Buona Forchetta I have to thank. I then got another two from Alvise (from Osteria All’ Antica Adelaide), who cooked them for me ready to bring home. Boiled, plucked, dressed plainly with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice – this is everywhere in Venice.
