"Crabs in the Skillet", in Gaelic "Portanide/Portáin Annsa Sgileid" is an Irish double jig or air known on the coast of Clare and Limerick in G Minor/F Mixolydian (most versions) or E Minor (Kennedy). The parts are played AABBCC (O'Neill/Krassen) or AA'BB'CC' (Cole, Kennedy, O'Neill/1915, 1001 & 1850, Ryan). Petrie (1855) notes: "This tune belongs to the coast of Clare and Limerick". Howe directs: "A little slower than jig time" indicating it was perhaps originally an air. It was printed in Cobb's Cobb's Music of Ireland, Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940), Howe's 1,000 Jigs and Reels (c. 1867), Joyce's Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (1890), Kennedy's Jigs & Quicksteps, Trips & Humours (1997), O'Neill's O'Neill's Irish Music (1915), O'Neill (Krassen) (1976), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903), O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907), Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) and Stanford/Petrie's Complete Collection (1905). It was recorded by Jordi Savall on The Celtic Viol.
