King of crabs
It's not often you can dine on celebrity crustaceans. But the Alaskan king crab - served as salad or in the shell - at Oceanaire Seafood Room stars on two counts.

But the Alaskan king crab - served as salad or in the shell - at Oceanaire Seafood Room stars on two counts.
These critters are so big that a single leg is a 15- to 18-ounce serving with easily half a cup of sweet, succulent crabmeat. And they are TV stars of sorts, part of the catch of the Time Bandit, the crabber featured on the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch.
Oceanaire snared the Time Bandit's entire catch for its 15 restaurants. We favor chef David Weiderholt's crab salad with preserved lemon vinaigrette and baby greens. Or you can crack a shell or two.
Alaskan King Crab salad, $30; by the leg, $30; full cluster, $119. At Oceanaire, 700 Walnut, 215-625-8862.
