Anytime we go to a restaurant that has marinated crab claws on the menu, I can guarantee you that my husband will order them. Of all the ones he has tried, Copeland’s of New Orleans is his favorite. This recipe was listed all over the web as similar to Copeland’s. I made them last weekend and although slightly different from the original they were delicious.
The toasted French bread served on the side is a MUST! That is what makes this dish so addicting.
