Crab Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Make Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Add Stock

    Gradually add the fish stock while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  2. 5

    Stir in Cream and Sherry

    Once simmering, stir in the heavy cream and dry sherry. Allow to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Season the Bisque

    Add cayenne pepper, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

  4. 7

    Add Crab Meat

    Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much. Simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the bisque into cups or bowls. Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
