Fire pot of the sea.

We have mangrove crabs, my men went fishing this weekend.
We have all the vegetables for a pot au feu, go ahead and I'll try a recipe a little crazy pot au feu de la mer, with mangrove crabs.

The recipe is easy and can easily be done with your children to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve.
