Description

For the start or close of a millennium (or almost any other significant occasion), this is an opulent but fuss-free combination. Purchase the crabs from a busy fishmonger to ensure absolute freshness. Inexpensive caviar (which is often dyed) can turn the dipping sauce gray; invest a little more if you can. Champagne — not too dry — is naturally the beverage of choice.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Hot pepper sauce
2 ounces imported black caviar
2 cooked whole Dungeness crabs, legs and body separated, cracked
Toasted sourdough bread

Directions

  1. Whisk first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with hot pepper sauce. Fold in black caviar. Divide sauce between 2 ramekins. Serve crabs with dipping sauce and toast.
