Visit to Port Alberni - Crab recipe

Had an amazing trip to Port Alberni, British Columbia.  Where you ask is Port Alberni?  It's a 3 hr drive from Victoria the capital of British Columbia, Canada.  While it isn't isolated it takes a loooong time to get to.
First we took a long cross country flight to Seattle, then the light rail from the airport to Seattle downtown, then walked to the ferry terminal.  From the ferry terminal we took a 3 1/2 hr ferry to Victoria.  In Victoria dad picked up up for a 3 hr drive to Port Alberni...  Was it all worth it. Yes for multiple reasons.  Got to see family after a long time and also the natural sights around Port Alberni are spectacular.

Food:
Day 1: Sisters home made Tiramisu & Lasgania
Day 2: Morning - fresh corn and quinoa porridge - yes pretty tasty.  Lunch - Left over Lasgania, poutine . Picked up fresh crabs & shrimp.  Dinner: Sauteed Crab with Singaporean Chilli crab sauce, pan fried garlic-lime shrimp, pan fried indian style Salmon, Corn bhel, roasted bell pepper yogurt raita.
Day 3: Picked up Salmon from a fisherman in China creek - came home and had sashimi... was very fearful of getting Salmon parasites but phew no parasites. Dinner - crab cakes from left over crab meat and sabu-dana kichidi
Day 4: Lunch - Matterson House Restaurant in Ucluelet, BC  - I had Oyster burger (yum), Dad had a yummy Halibut burger, others had Clam chowder with fresh baked bread, shrimp quesadillas, and amongst the best hand made burgers (mmm beef).  Dinner - skipped it and had left over Tiramisu
Day 5: Lunch - Goats on the Roof lunch - mmm poutine, chicken pastries, clam chowder, fish & chips, ... Dinner - Seafood bisque made by sister and more Salmon Sashimi, Salmon-Fig-Parmesan bruschetta, wild rice salad.

On the way back my sister made us some salmon sandwiches - thank god, we were able to keep ourself stuffed during the looong ferry ride and the flight.

Unfortunately other than the Crab and Sashimi I didn't cook much and therefore have no recipe's. Have to say it was amongst the best food vacations even though we didn't go to any star chef restaurants and mom didn't have to slave away cooking indian food in the kitchen!

Crab Recipe:
Ask the fisherman to kill the crab by breaking it in two and cleaning out the guts.
Heat oil on medium, toss in 1 tbsp of onion (diced), and a 1 chopped thai chili.  Let the oil pick up the flavour for 30 sec and toss in the Crab. 
Cover and shake the pot to make sure the oil coats the Crab.  Time for 2 min.
After 2 min pour in 1/2 cup of water cover and cook for 4 min. 
Done !!  The Thai chili gives the crab meat a nice mild heat - an awesome additon to the sweetness of the Crab meat.
