A DUNGENESS CRAB SEAFOOD BOIL FEAST FROM ALAMAR OAKLAND
Seafood boils are best when enjoyed with others. Always a festive gathering, where there may be periods of silence due to intense concentration from the cracking of shells and drizzling buttery sauce all over everything. It’s a messy affair, so you just gotta roll up your sleeves and get right in there. It takes some work, but the reward is well worth it for the plate of seafood bliss. And this is exactly what we get every time we dive into a seafood boil from alaMar.
alaMar is a great spot in the Bay Area for seafood. We’ve been fans since they opened their doors in Uptown Oakland back in 2014. Created by owner Chef Nelson German, we were excited to give these ready-made feasts a try. Adulting is hard enough, dinner time should be easy and fun.
Our seafood feast featured a Dungeness crab boil . Everything came packed up well and already cooked. Reheating instructions are included, and all you have to do is reheat and serve to get your feast on. The reheating instructions were pretty easy to follow. We found it fun unpacking everything, reheating, and plating everything up for our meal. The whole reheating and plating process didn’t take too much time.
THE DUNGENESS CRAB SEAFOOD BOIL
DUNGENESS CRAB WITH A BUTTERY ROMESCO SAUCE.
We threw the crab and sauce into the pot and got started on the reheating process.
ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE, WHITE CORN & HERB ROASTED POTATOES
Next, we threw the sausages, corn, and potatoes into the pot.
Everything starting to heat up and the kitchen is starting to smell really good.
FRESH SOURDOUGH BREAD WITH A BUTTERY SPREAD
Fresh sourdough is the best. The bread came with this garlic butter spread.
We assembled everything onto a sheet pan and got it ready to throw into the oven.
A FRESH, BRIGHT SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE, MELONS, AND VINAIGRETTE.
This salad was delicious. It was nice to have a bright side to compliment the savory seafood.
LEMON CAKE TO FINISH OUT THE MEAL
