Crab Claws & Yuzu Mayo

Luxury Russian king crab claws from the local commissary put to good use. Of course this yuzu mayo can go well with any sort of shell fish. Key to the flavors here is to have the Nobu ceviche sauce handy on the side to drizzle over the shell fish before dipping it into the mayo.
