Can someone tell me how to cook crabs?
How to cook crab Tradition, and desire for the crab meat to be as fresh and tasty as possible, demands that we cook crab alive. Just as with lobsters, there is no actual proof that crustaceans feel pain. To cook crab, prepare a brine, again as with lobster – it should be as salty as sea water, and bobbing an egg in it will show you when it’s salty enough (the egg will float). When the brine is at a boil, put the crab(s) in and cook for 15 minutes for the first 500g (1 lb 2 oz), plus 10 minutes for every subsequent 500g (1 lb 2 oz). When the time is up, lift out the crab(s) and leave to cool before handling………….. Enjoy I worked pretty hard on this in Jasper Alberta………with a lot of success……
