Pull that piece up and backwards to remove it. 8. Flip the crab again and remove the gills that run along the sides with your hands.Updated 12420. The day after Thanksgiving, Matt and I drove out to Half Moon Bay to get in on the seasons first crabs, buying them directly from the fishermen.
For about six glorious weeks, the Bay Area enjoys a bounty of Dungeness Crab, and we just cant get enough. ![]() Just a few steps away from the boats, a local restaurant will steam your crab for you and give you all the fixins (the butter, the lemon slices, and some hot sauce) to enjoy your crab right then and there. We bring our own wine andor beer, and breathe in the sea air as we drown our crab meat in butter using our hands. This year, we decided bring our cooler, break out our giant stock pot, and make some fixins of our own at home. The entire 30 minute ride home, I was worried that our crabs would not survive the trip, but lo and behold, when we pulled them out of the cooler, they were alive and well and looking angry (or maybe that was just my imagination running wild). We slipped them into the freezer to numb them (this is the most humane way of killing er cooking crab). Though, luckily, a good set of tongs (not to mention, long arms) helped secure them in the bag. I knew that our crab feast was going to be messy, so I decided to line our kitchen table with some craft paper, weighing it down with a few lemons. Matt paired his crab with a bottle of Brother Davids Triple from Anderson Valley Brewing Company. Inspired by a recipe I had seen in Mourad: New Moroccan, I decided to whip up two butter sauces for dipping our crab one lemony garlic butter and a harissa butter.

Re Cook Bad How To Cook AndPersonally, I liked having both options, though if I had to only make one, Id run with the harissa butter A Step-by-Step Guide to how to cook and clean live crab at home 1. Place live crabs in freezer for approximately 15 minutes to numb them prior to cooking. Freezing the crabs before you cook them is more humane and makes it easier to place them in the pot because they wont be moving around as much (or trying to kill you). Find your largest stock pot and fill it with water. Salt the water, heavily, and add 3 bay leaves, a tablespoon or so of whole black peppercorns, and a teaspoon of paprika. Bring to a boil. 3. Remove the crabs from the freezer and using a pair of tongs, grab them from behind so you dont get pinched (see photo above). ![]() Lower each crab into the boiling water with its legs facing down. While the crabs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice. Allow each crab to cook for approximately 15 minutes (once they float to the top, give them an extra 2-3 minutes). Once they are done, drop them briefly into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let the crab cool for a minute before beginning the cleaning process. To clean the crab: begin by removing the top shell. You can do this by looking for grooves where your thumbs will fit near the rear legs. Pull up on the shell. ![]() Pull that piece up and backwards to remove it. Flip the crab again and remove the gills that run along the sides with your hands.
