Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat olive or vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chopped celery, carrot, tomato, onion, minced parsley, and diced apple to the pan.
  3. Sauté the vegetables, tossing continuously, for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in bay leaves, salt, pepper, and curry powder, cooking for another 4 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in hot fish stock and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes to develop the flavors.
  7. Mix arrowroot with water to form a slurry, then stir into the simmering broth to thicken.
  8. Strain the vegetable mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
  9. Add snow crab claws and pineapple juice to the strained broth.
  10. Simmer gently for 3 minutes, just until the crab meat is heated through and opaque.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
