Side Dish Ideas for Steamed Crabs

[Anonymous]

Trying to think of something to make alongside a bushel of crabs for a small party aside from the standards: corn, burgers, dogs. I'm eh on crabs, and some friends only eat few so we'd need something more substantial. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Potato salad of some sort
Sauteed corn (in butter with scallions), tossed with chunks of tomatoes that have been dressed in cider vinegar, salt and pepper.

I'd get a lot of crudites, a fruit plate, potato salad, pasta salad, corn on the cob, guacamole and salsa and chips, and call it a day. You can make or outsource any of that stuff.

Macaroni and cheese, especially if kids will be there. Or a hearty pasta salad.

Bagged cole slaw with Vidalia Onion dressing, old bay and salt and pepper. The old bay makes it go really well with crabs. Also, not mayonnaise so it doesn't get that funky smell that mayonnaise gets when left out of the fridge.

And key lime pie

I would recommend anything you can eat w your hands. If you are eating crabs, it is a mess. Mind you, I love them! So, fries, hushpuppies, corn, the veggies sound good.
