This is such a quick, easy weekend brunch. Potted crab has lots of buttery flavour, huge chunks of crab, and a great hit of acidity with the preserved lemon rind and orange zest!

You’ve got to stand over the sink and crack shells for a little while, but it’s worth it!

I got my Dungeness crab from F.I.S.H.(Fresh Idea’s Start Here) in Metro Vancouver. They also have a full line up of fresh fish, octopus, sea urchin, and more.

Serve alongside grilled sour dough bread with lemon wedges.
