I like the body meat best so I boil whole then clean afterwards.
I'm pretty sure there is a new regulation this year that you can't clean the crabs before you take them home so cooking them whole is the best way to go

My friend has 3 nice size male crabs., He didnt cook them. He wanted to cook them tomorrow ( today) , but the crabs are dead. he should cook them right now. I said I have no idea but I assume that dont eat them when they are dead.
Any feedback about his dead crabs and what he do with his three dead crabs?
Thanks

You get the exact same meat (body) whether cleaned before or after cooking. Just seams odd that you would want to deal with guts and that mess with something you are about to eat. Kinda like throwing a salmon on the BBQ before you've gutted it. To each there own I guess.

Whole crab in a huge pot of clean seawater cooked outdoors on a propane cooker is ideal. Return the slop to the pot and dump it straight back into the ocean after the meal. All the other methods are a compromise.
I never boil mine I clean them then I steam them in a big pot ... everyone that ive served it to NEVER go back to boiling crab...
very easy to do contains 1 cup white wine, garlic,fresh herb (cilantro or Dill),lemon juice,olive oil, grated ginger and S&P
Segregate the claws from the body throw everything in a big pot get it hot shaking all the while so the legs and stuff get tossed about 8 mins of steam.from the wine when done dig in and eat when all the crab is done then get some nice bread (baguette) and dip in the sauce and get the bits of crab and ginger and garlic etc .... then burp afterwards
trust me its damn good

Roy.....is the time to steam much different than boiling?
Unfortunately, the rec crab fishery has had a history of abusive users, especially around Vancouver/Richmond.trying to make sense of this rule , crabs are like rats of the sea ,
they cycle quickly , and reproduce like rabbits
in our area out west , weve always had easy limits of crab year round around Sarita ,
even in the summer , never an issue , BUT , now that
commercial boat laid his hundreds of pots this past spring, there is almost zero males left ???
, not even under size ?? wtf ,
our pots all stuffed with females , did they keep the undersize males too ?? relocate them somewhere lol
alot of concern around the docks ,,,,,,wtf happened ,
my point , they should be less concerned about sportys taken home a few to eat ,
i clean all my crab the day of transport , keep all the crab in a countable fashion in a separate chilled cooler ,
with all the hoods in a separate bag for them to measure , pretty sure dfo recognizes whether they
are fresh kills , hoods still full of inners dangling ??? cmon... , can understand if they were dried out , and used for
transporting under size crabs ??? who would go outta there way to do that , yes there are always idiots out there
cheating , but enuff to change the regs on us ???
its the commercial management id be more concerned with
they should't be allowed to hit an area that hard , limit there area catch !!! ????
looked like an exploded bubble gum machine out there in the Spring this year !!!
