The stock made from them is amazing. Usual suspects fenel carrot leek onion bay leaf.
Same goes for those bird carcuss and bones.
All the bad stuff is obliterated when boiled.
Rissotos never tasted so good.
Be aware though anthrax survives boiling.
I used to bin shells and bones. Then I read some things by the master of thrift and friend and advisor to Gordon Ramsay “Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall”

How cool would it be to be able to just bung the remnants of an enormous feast into the trash at the end of the day =)

I see you found full-sized crabs more appealing than the miniature one at my house. Alas, I understand completely. The crumble looks ridiculously wonderful, can’t wait to try out the recipe here.

Merry Dungeness crabs, Molly 😉

Hopefully they were from Dungeness in Washington rather than Dungeness in England, which is only known for it’s nuclear power station!! How many claws did they have??

Those photos are wonderful, and almost – almost – make me able to consider eating again sometime today.
