Welcome to Five Course Trivia! Five days a week, we’ll post five questions about something from the culinary world, from soup to nuts and all dishes in between.

Checking out the list of foods we’ve talked about, I see that crab has not been a food yet. Today that omission is corrected. Enjoy!

1. Six states have an official state crustacean. Blue crab is the official state crustacean of which state? Also, dungeness crab is the official state crustacean of which state?

2. Named after its shape, the hors d’oeuvres seen here are usually called “crab” what?

3. The soup seen here, popular in Charleston SC, made with milk, crab/fish stock, crab meat, and traditionally crab roe, is named after a crab with what specific quality?

4. Japanese for “ground meat”, name the paste made with fish or other meat, best known for being the product used to make imitation crab meat.
