Do you like Crabs?

[tp4tissue]

So, I'm watching the deadliest catch..

And it makes me really want to eat crabs..

But I can't ever eat crabs because it's so complicated..

[azhdar]

No.

Now let's talk about sheeps:

I quite like mutton..

Haven't found non imported packs in the US though..  It's mostly frozen imported stuff..

Well I don't like mutton so we should rather speak about porks :



delicious in the BBQ and in sausages.

carbs are bad for you

There are places that deshell the crab and serve it whole tempura fried. I've seen some places that deshell and grill it too. I like that much better and it's easy to eat unlike whole boiled in shell. I agree the trouble of eating it from whole shell is more trouble than it's worth. Or, my favorite Maryland style crab cakes with chili pickled mango.

I still eat them, just the doc says not to. Just like salty things but thats more of a blood pressure issue.

Overall, I can usually get through the crab legs..   but when I get to the body.. Fogetaboutit...  all them little cavities that you gotta perform surgery on..

Alaskan king crab?! I had it once, it was yummy but a lil on the pricey side. 
the crab was huge tho, the chef made 2 different dishes out of 1 crab.

Back in Baltimore we used to take baskets of blues and just dump 'em whole on a giant newspaper-covered table, then smash 'em with wodden mallets. Juicy crab meat and melted butter flying all which way, and a little karaoke.

nothing complicated about smashing your food with a mallet

I love crab legs. I don't eat crab bodies, though.

I lived in Maryland for a year, but never got into the whole soft shell crab thing. I did eat quite a few crab cakes, though.

If crab legs are steamed perfectly, it is no trouble at all to break the shell and remove the meat. The trick is to break them at the joint first, and pull the tendon out. Once you learn how to do that, and which end to crack to get the meat, it's really easy to eat crab legs.

Are you sure you aren't talking about soft shell crabs? You don't remove the shell from those, you just eat them all.

[IvanIvanovich]

I've seen that too, with the softshell, but no. Eating shells is gross. I hate it when they tempura batter shrimps with the shells and heads still on too.
The same place that removes the crab meat from the shell before cooking will do the same for lobsters too.

Yes. I like crabs. Extra lemon-butter sauce please!

I spent my childhood in the south, so Crawfish and crab are staples in those big boils. Mhm... Red potatoes, crab, Craw fish.
