Scoma's Restaurant on San Francisco’s Fisherman's Wharf is kicking off its Second Annual Crab Challenge where all crab lovers are welcome to put a favorite crab recipe to the test. Simply email your original recipe before Friday, February 27, 2009.

Scoma's judges will choose the best and the restaurant will feature it on its menu for the rest of crab season. The top crab recipe also wins dinner for two at Scoma's, and a weekend at San Francisco's Orchard Garden Hotel.

Last year's winner was an inspiring Crab Tower - a delicious, beautiful presentation of fresh Dungeness crab, complimented by a layer of luscious avocado and topped with a refreshing salsa.
