Cook the mixture until it is thickened. Add in the onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, mace, cayenne pepper, and lemon rind. Bring mixture to a boil, but continue stirring constantly. Reduce to low heat and add in the crabmeat and roe or substitute and simmer while uncovered for five minutes. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove from the heat and add in the sherry while stirring. Let it sit for three to four minutes before serving. However, using real Edisto blue crabs and roe definitely adds to it.
We stayed at Edisto Beach a couple years ago for a week and went to Charleston one afternoon and ordered she crab soup. It was without a doubt the best soup we had ever tasted. I am craving it so hard! I should try and make it soon.
This was hands down amaaaazing!! All of the flavors blended so wonderfully, none overpowering the others. We used King crab and cut into bite -sized pieces. Oh goodness. I have to try this recipe the soonest. I will see if they would have some crabs at the wet market tomorrow, although I doubt it because we have a storm here.
I am saving the recipe and you can be sure I will be making this for my family! I had no idea the difference between the male and female crabs! The soup looks and sounds delicious! It would be the perfect little kick to the crab bisque. Such an interesting post. Thank you for sharing. I just might have to see if I can track down some crabs to make this for him or save the recipe until we travel to the coast.
I use the canned crab from the seafood section of my butcher or grocery store. Sounds so comforting and delicious, Cynthia! The crab soup looks delicious! I will let you know how I like it. It sounds like it would be really tasty though. Great for the cooler months. I have never had crab bisque before, but I would certainly love to try it. It looks so tasty and I can just imagine how good it smells. I am going to have to try this one day soon.
I have made and consumed she crab soup for decades and this is by far the best homemade recipe I have run across. Received multiple standing ovations over the Holidays! It was amazing! Excellent recipe!
Reminds me of the she crab soup I had in Hilton Head. That guide to determining the gender is great! I absolutely love crab and need to make this dish soon. So many wonderful flavours in this gorgeous rich bisque! Such a creamy and flavourful crab bisque! Loved it! Stir in onion; cook until soft and translucent. Remove 1 cup of soup, and set aside to cool slightly. In a small bowl, stir together flour and milk.
Reduce heat to low, stir in crab meat, and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Those who prefer females usually claim that their meat is sweeter. Once females reach sexual maturity, they mate with a male only once. Males will mate with multiple females during their lifespan.
Once the crabs mate, an egg mass develops beneath the female's apron. This mass, or sponge, can contain as many as 2 million eggs. Most seafood contains some amount of mercury. But by eating a wide variety of fish and shellfish, you can reduce your overall mercury consumption. During pregnancy , eating up to 12 ounces of seafood each week is considered safe. An old wives' tale says crab lungs are toxic, but they're actually just not digestible and taste terrible. You can eat it and many love this part of the crab.
If you have a female crab and you see bright orange stuff inside, that is edible. It's the roe or eggs, also called "coral" in shellfish. The meat of the blue crab is considered by many to be the sweetest and best tasting of all crabs. A female crab is called : hen. I just made this soup tonight for the first time. I did however make several additions to the soup to kick it up a notch. This recipe, along with my additions, is well worth the money you will spend to make this soup.
You will not be disappointed!! Really great recipe we did modify it some based on other reviews. We also increased the crab to 2 pounds we like a lot of crab! It tasted just like the soup we get at our favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach!
This was very good but I felt it needed more seasonings. I added Old Bay black pepper and paprika right in the roux. A bit of sherry gave it a nice flavor too. All in all a very nice recipe. Danielle F. Love this recipe since I am missing the she-crab soup from my fav restaurants in Virginia Beach, tastes just like them! I always add old bay though. This recipe is a perfect tribute to lowcountry fare at its very best.
