The glorious seafood tower is a dish of raw and cooked shellfish served cold on a platter, usually on a bed of ice. The serving platter is generally held above table level with a stand and sometimes can contain multiple, elaborate tiers.

Molting consists of a soft shell being formed underneath a crab’s hard shell. Continue reading
