PART TWO: To answer your criticism: The crab are not dead, In my years of experience I found that placing the crab in a freezer 30 min prior to cooking them slows down their movement tremendously. This ensures that they do not move too much when placed in the boiing water, resulting in ALL of their legs and claws being intact after cooking, rather than broken limbs. The ice bath at the end cools the meat quickly stopping the meat from overcooking and poorly prepared crab. And mayonaise..yuck

Why is this guy cooking DEAD crabs? They are supposed to be LIVE when you cook them. And why does he place them in ice water? He probably eats them with mayonaise, too!

Where is he from, Kansas?!

Ok, so it sounds like you know a bit about crabs so I won't give you too hard of a time...When I originally made the video it had subtitles explaining what was going on as it happened. Unfortunately when I loaded it on Youtube the explanations did not appear. Further more the video was automatically fitted to the song which resulted in it repeating twice to the entire song rather than once to the segment of the song that I chose to use. This ruined all of the timing and work I put into it.

@hotvampire69 Actually, dead crabs look the same as live crabs, color wise. They turn red when you cook them. (Dumb ass), LOL!

question: in maryland we steam our crabs, can I steam dugeness crabs the same way as the blue crab?

[newgtguy]

Two things.

First, I find Dungeness Crab to taste better precleaned then cooked. Just something to try sometime. The meat stays nice and white.

Second, to those of you who use the term "crabs", crabs is an STD. We eat crab!

Have a nice day.

damnit I was looking for a recipe but I got a c*py music video without any directions

Nice video, I'll have to try the ice bath idea. I usually just drain the hot water from the pot then fill it back up with cold water before I clean them. I just caught a couple of beautiful Dungeness crabs tonight in Mukilteo, Washington. You can see them above in my video response to this video.
