Damn that sounds good. :-)
Spinach, fresh or canned? Or does it really matter?
I can get "no salt added" canned spinach.
I don't really care for frozen spinach.

I'll bet it'd go well with crab meat! Whole dungeness crab has been an
excellent price ($4.99/lb.) lately at Wal-mart! I can clean and shell
out a crab in about 1/2 hour and IMHO it's worth the effort.

For crab, I'd go _very_ light on the spicing. Too delicate of a flavor.
Maybe just a little salt free lemon pepper and a hint of garlic, and a
pinch of ground white pepper for a bit of heat.
