The Ultimate Crab Sandwich

Anita and I love crab sandwiches. In fact she insists that we spend at least one day in Bodega Bay every year so that we can enjoy a fresh caught Dungeness crab sandwich at The Spud point Crab Co. Well we have decided to make the ultimate crab sandwich; a sandwich so tasty that Joe will be jealous, if there really is a Joe. So here is our recipe for the beautiful sandwich shown above. Trust me to tell you that it is truly delicious. Very fresh and crisp from the onions, jalapenos and lemon zest.
