I've always boiled crab' date=' until a member from the site (Hoopsy) introduced me to steamed crab at his Crab & Gar day at North Haven last year.Shell, clean and half the crabs. Just a little saltwater in the bottom of the crab cooker, stick em in the basket and let it steam away for about 15 mins.I'll never go back to boiling![/quote']I'll have to give this a go Ranger. Cheers.

I find it best to rip their backs off n wash out guts etc gently with running water. So not to marinate them in their own filth. Also I cut gills n eyes off. Boil water (sea water), turn on low simmer and simmer for 7 to 8 mins max. Keep in fridge covered for no longer than 2 days otherwise they become dry n very low tasting also. Damn I love crab n it has been a great crab season. Enjoy mate.

Cheers champ. Good read. Hope you have good luck for the rest of the comp.

Awesome pics mate. Mezmorizing. Really enjoy this sorta photography.
