“Naughty Bread”
There’s nothing quite like pairing our sweet Dungeness crab legs with toasted, cheesy bread. Naughty bread is a family recipe from Joci's side, originally known as "Pentacle Bread," renamed "Naughty Bread" by her cousin Brent in recent years. This is indulgent and naughty and delicious with king crab and dungeness crab!
The topping made of a mix of mayo, cheese, green onions and garlic salt enhances the natural sweetness of the crab, while the French bread offers a satisfying crunch. This combination is not only simple but also deeply satisfying, allowing the flavor of our premium crab legs to shine. The sourdough is perfect for soaking up any leftover garlic butter, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
Roasted Vegetables
Complement the delicate flavor of our Dungeness crab legs with a side of roasted vegetables. Vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini, when roasted, develop a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the mild, tender crab meat. A touch of roasted garlic or mushrooms can add earthiness, while a squeeze of fresh lemon juice ties the flavors together. This side is not only healthy but also colorful and flavorful, making it a great addition to your crab feast.
Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob is a classic pairing with seafood, and it’s a particularly good match for our Dungeness crab legs. The sweetness of the corn complements the crab’s flavor, while its crunchy texture provides a delightful contrast to the tender flesh of the crab. For an added twist, try grilling the corn and brushing it with an herb-infused butter or sprinkling it with Old Bay seasoning. The smokiness from the grill adds an extra layer of flavor that enhances the crab’s natural taste.
Coleslaw
A crisp, refreshing coleslaw is an excellent accompaniment to our Dungeness crab legs, especially when you’re serving them cold. The crunch of cabbage and carrots in a tangy, creamy dressing offers a nice contrast to the soft crab meat. For a more unique flavor profile, consider an apple and fennel coleslaw, which adds sweetness and a hint of anise that pairs wonderfully with seafood.
Lemon Herb Potatoes
Lemon herb potatoes are a classic side dish that pairs well with the mild flavor of our Dungeness crab legs. These small, tender potatoes, roasted or boiled and tossed with fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and chives, along with a squeeze of lemon juice, provide a bright, zesty balance to the rich crab meat. The citrus notes from the lemon complement the sweetness of the crab, making this side both refreshing and satisfying.Grilled Asparagus
For a touch of elegance, serve our Dungeness crab legs with grilled asparagus. The slight bitterness of the asparagus contrasts beautifully with the sweet crab meat, while the char from grilling adds a smoky depth of flavor. A drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese can take this simple side to the next level, making it a perfect complement to our crab legs.Chilled Cucumber Salad
If you’re looking for a light and refreshing side, a chilled cucumber salad is the way to go. Thinly sliced cucumbers tossed in a light vinaigrette with dill, red onion, and a touch of sugar offer a crisp, cooling contrast to the rich, sweet crab meat. This side dish is especially tasty when you’re serving our crab legs cold, providing a refreshing balance to the meal.
