Every Christmas Eve, chef Renee Erickson of Bateau in Seattle, WA, goes crabbing with her family and friends. "We'll do a simple but decadent pasta. Oh, and lots of Champagne. We don't wait until five 'clock. We're not going anywhere." If you happen to live on the coast, you can certainly cook and pick your crabmeat yourself. Otherwise, go to a market that sells high-quality picked crabmeat.
