National Crab Day was back in March, but I recently came across some dishes that are totally “claw”-some:

Tantalizing tempura
Recently opened Tempura Ichika (434 Piikoi St.) is a new tempura omakase led by Michelin-starred chef Kiyoshi Chikano. The omakase ($160 per person) includes an appetizer, sashimi, chef’s selection of seasonal seafood and vegetable tempura, and more. You’ll enjoy up to 10 different tempura; snow crab with shiso is one of the best offerings.

On a roll
Seagonia Crab Co. (various locations) recently added a crab roll ($20) to its menu. Crab rolls include Dungeness crab meat tossed in lemon-garlic butter and served on a split-top brioche bun with Maui butter lettuce and pineapple slaw. There are more than 2 ounces of crab meat in each roll.
You can find the biz at Ono Grindz and Makeke (Thursdays at Wai Kai) and the Kakaako farmers market on Saturdays.

A seafood brunch
Cino (987 Queen St. Ste. 100) just launched its weekend brunch, available from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Choose from a variety of seafood dishes, sandwiches and breakfast staples, ranging from ricotta toast ($18) and lobster club sandwich ($38) to 16-ounce porcini-rub prime rib ($55).

Crowd favorites include black truffle potato gnocchi ($48) and crab cake eggs Benedict ($28). The latter features a poached egg, pepperonata, sauteed spinach and hollandaise.
