    We ate at the Ministry of Crab about five years ago. It was a family holiday, probably the last one all of us will take together. There were about 15 of us. It was an incredible meal and like you said the ambience is just grand. It also combined our love of seafood and the two ex-Sri Lankan cricketers - Sangakkara and Jayawardene (they were team mates and also Brothers-in-law). Five years later, I’ve shared your video on our family WhatsApp group and the memories and the taste from that night are still so fresh. Thanks Luke

    Love your channel. New subscriber, here. Don’t want to seem critical, but as much as you love crab, you would get the most out of your meal by breaking off the smaller pincer as it releases to entirety of the claw in one piece. There’s definitely tutorials on how to dismantle a crab. I’m from New England, and we know our way around crustaceans, so I thought I’d throw that tip out. Hope you took this as constructive criticism as shellfish is crazy expensive and I want y’all to get every succulent bit.

    Sri Lanka has some of the world's best mud crabs. Especially considering the sizes of crabs, Sri Lanka has the best.
    This restaurant has been ranked among the Asia's best 50 restaurants.
    Owned by the Chef Darshana, Cricketers Mahela and Sangakkara. All the profits of the restaurants are going to Charity of Sri Lanka.
    Visit Sri Lanka....! You can have some experience you cannot have anywhere else. From white sand beaches to temperate weather Mountains, you can have such a natural and cultural experience with some of the world's best cuisines and hospitality.

    Hello, Luke and Sabrina, it's good to see you in yet another very enjoyable video 👍👏🙏. Thank you! You both looked great being dressed up a little. The Ministry of Crab in Colombo is undoubtedly a crab/prawn lover's paradise; I have seen the restaurant in other videos. You made me drool over the crab tamale, or pâté of crab liver, which is what I enjoy most in a crab. Are their products from sea water or fresh water? I notice that they did not devein the colossal prawn. How do you avoid food-borne illnesses in developing countries?
