Get some live crabs and steam em to death.

damn if you have a boat and you can catch them live... cook them right htere on the boat and eat 'em there.... MMMMM GOOD!!!


you should remove their guts and outter shell first.... get a flat chizzle type tool and enter from the rear. SHOVE the tool in, then pry open the top... this effectively removes all the guts and outter shell... then rinse the sucker and putin the pot... cook until the shell is cooked and its farily bubblely

Is there a good way to kill crabs painlessly before boiling them??

Edit: I just had an idea... how about feeding them beer so that they are either die of alcohol poisoning or are too drunk to feel the pain? Also there's the added benefit of beer flavored crabs... but that probably tastes like crap, so how about wine?

I thought steaming them was about as good as it got. Besides, you're eating the damn things, it's not as if you have their welfare in mind.

I LOVE crab legs!, but I too steam them. I try not to eat them a lot anymore because I loved shrimp too, ate bad ones from Red Lobster and now can't even touch them. So I use shell fish in moderation to avoid the same fate with them.

Turn the crab upside down so the body of the crab is exposded to you.

Right in the middle of the body put a knife through it. It kills the crab. Make sure you don't apply too much pressure and go through the shell though. Enough to piece it to nearly touch the shell.

After killing the crab steam it for about 10-15 minutes depending on its side. Have a little sauce ready. I do lemon with salt and pepper.
