I decided to play around in the kitchen tonight, and make a new recipie. it turned out damn good! here it is if you want to try it:

Kaolian's Poached Salmon and Crab Legs of Doom

1 Green bell pepper
1 Red bell pepper
1 Walla walla sweet onion (get the flattest one you can find for maximum sweetness)
2 Roma tomatoes
1 whole Pineapple
2 tsp Ground ginger
1 tsp onion salt
2 tsp sweet Basil, chopped (more if fresh).
1/3 C apple juice concentrate or 1/2 c White wine
1 large fish fillet and a few crab legs. ( you can mix and match here. scallops work, as do most white fish. I probably wouldn't try Ahi or other Tuna with this. )

In a very large saucepan with a cover (I used 2) chop the vegitables and pineapple and tomato into small-ish cubes. You want a thin layer under the fish fillet and crab legs. Then put the fish filet and crab legs in. Now add the spices and the liquid ingrediants. if necessary add some water just up to the bottom of the fish filet (but not covering it). Put any remaining veggies around the fillet.

Now set the stove on jsut under medium, and cook fir approximatly 45 minutes with the lid on. Do not stir. Your goal is to basically stem cook the fish. You do not want any boiling of the liquid. If you see boiling back the heat off to just before that point.

It's against my philosophy to have food that takes longer to cook than it does to eat.

Sounds good Kao. Unfortunately, the hospital trip following does not.

Make sure to present the dish with the top of the pot on and the crab legs sticking out the side. You're guests will question whether they'll be eating the entre, or the entre will be eating them.

I dunno. Probably something stemming from living next to a giant active volcano most of my life.

This recipie would also work well with chicken.

You had me until you put an entire pineapple in it. I try to avoid those and bell peppers, they give off too much taste imo.

I like pineapple. You don't have to put the whole thing in.

Sounds good, but doesn't the crab meat suffer from such a slow cooking?

Crab, Scallops, Lobster - I always cook as quickly as possible to keep the texture (And scallops I often don't bother cooking - just a little lemon juice).

And /nod at Neph - Would want something more subtle than bell-peppers

Nope, since the crab isn't actually submerged, it works quite well I find at least.
