      Thompson, a food writer based in North Carolina, grew up eating blue crab in traditional Southern preparations like She-Crab Soup. Here, he covers all the other important members of the family, from the West Coast Dungeness to Alaskan king to Florida stone crab, along with recipes inspired by a variety of cuisines. He includes detailed information on buying and preparing the different varieties of crab and types of crabmeat, boxes on topics such as "Crab Feeds, Feasts, and Boils," and a list of crab festivals around the country. The delectable recipes range from Soft-Shell Crabs in Spicy Peanut Sauce to Crab R moulade with Fried Green Tomatoes to crab cakes (more than a dozen versions). Thompson has an engaging style, and his latest will be useful as a reference as well as a cookbook. For most collections.

      Those looking for something more sophisticated than chicken may turn to Fred Thompson's " Crazy for Crab" . Thompson offers a complete guide to cooking, serving, and eating all manner of crab dishes. He includes both East and West Coast specimens. After an exhaustive treatise on the kinds of crabs available, their seasons, and how they are likely to show up in markets, the author presents appetizer dips, soups and chowders, salads, and variations on the ever-popular crab cakes. Main dishes include multicourse crab boils, deviled crab, and similarly rich dishes. To go with these, Thompson suggests slaws, vegetable dishes, and a few desserts, including the ubiquitous key lime pie. An appendix lists crab festivals nationwide.
