Lucky Tao - Alderbridge & Hazelbridge

Alaskan king crab at $10.98/lb screams the poster on the wall at this restaurant across from Sun Siu Wah in Richmond. First time here, never even heard of it before but relatives have been here previously and say it's good. Uncle No 2 asked for the largest crab. It comes in at 16lbs alive and kicking and ends up eaten as 4 dishes - 2 of which were just crab legs. Some say it should have been 5 dishes and that we were gipped. Who knows? It was good, although I don't really care for crab.

We polish off 4-5 other entrees and 2 bottles of red wine. 14.5% proof. Not bad. Don't know how much it was as we didn't pay. It's worth coming back.

Comments:
How about the ethics of picking out a live crab, and indicating to the waiter that it is the crab you want to eat?

It is, I suppose, more honest than simply ordering meat or fish off a menu. And, as a less-than-honest person, impersonally ordering off the menu is what serves my guilty conscience best.
