    We love crab legs but rarely ever have them. My local supermarket had a sale on them for $5.99lb, about half off. Picked up three pounds, ready to try them with the broiler method!

    we dont really eat snow crab in maryland. we eat blue crab. with that being said, we also put old bay on everything from eggs to pizza to beer can tops.

      Jordan Levin Are you being serious about putting Old Bay beer can tops? That actually sounds like something I’d like to try. The idea has never crossed my mind, but now I can’t get it out of my mind.

Especially with the soft snow crab. We use our hands and teeth but we are always super careful (especially for claw ends). But it is what it is. Sorry lol 🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

    I'm from the Midwest and had very little seafood when I was younger. When I tried to cook crab, I made two major mistakes. I overcooked the crab and made the shell soft so, it is a major problem to get the meat out of the crab. I added old bay seasoning to the boiling water, and it would foam over onto the range top. What a mess! -------- Thanks

    As soon as the crab come off the fishing boat, they go to the processing plant and cooked right there. Flash frozen and shipped all over the world. When you get them to your house, all you are doing to heating the meat to the desired temp. Personally, with frozen crab legs, I allow them to thaw totally. Drop them in a large pot with a basket and allow them to steam and not boil. If you do boil the crab, add salt to the water but never too much. Steam for 10 to15 minutes. Eat until you blow it.
