Spider Crab at Antonios, Porto do Mos

Just been out to Lagos in the Western Algarve and I am pleased to see that O-Antonio beach-side restaurant in Porto do Mos has reopened after winning in court against eviction.  Had an amazing Spider Crab (Maja squinado) for lunch which they boil straight from their display tank and serve with a simple mayonnaise and lemon wedges.  With Spider Crab it takes a bit of effort to extract the meat but it is worth it as the flavour is awesome, especially the 'butter' which is the lipid rich, yellow coloured digestive gland (kind of liver).  Served with hot buttered toast and accompanied with a light beer this is the perfect lunch to eat when viewing the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.
