Wild Dungeness crab captured as they scuttle offshore anywhere from Alaska to Mexico, blue-black mussels hauled from cold waters along the coast of Spain, and giant shrimp gathered from the sea around Vietnam: in tide-splashed cuisines worldwide, exquisitely packaged creatures from the deep cook up into cauldrons of signature shellfish soups.
Add a salad and a loaf of crusty bread for a simply sensational supper, with any international accent you choose. These soups are definitely hands-on affairs, so provide big napkins, dump buckets for discarded shells, and wet towels or finger bowls for cleanup.
