Wes Snook, Ankeny Hy-Vee Store Director and Chef Andrew, also of the Ankeny Hy-Vee, joined us in the studio this morning just after the 8:30 news. We also had Bob Sykes, skipper of the Trident ship Bountiful, on the air with us by telephone. You can see a picture of the ship below. Bob explained how the King Crab Legs were caught and shipped direct to Hy-Vee. Chef Andrew talked about how to make clarified butter in which to dip the Crab. All of the Hy-Vees have the instructions. Pick up your fresh Crab now at your Hy-Vee store! It's fabulous!
