Hi Sweet Friends!
This is the second part of my Dungeness Crab Tutorial. Getting messy is the word here, but these illustrations will show you how to do it a bit cleaner. AND Enjoy the work after all.
These are the tools I use to eat a crab. My lobster crackers and the small knife are my preferred tools, however, in a pinch a steak knife and nutcrackers work fine. The lobster crackers work best for the meat as they crack and not mash the shell. *TIP: These lobster crackers are worth it if you eat crab like we do.
The first thing is to break the crab in half.
Then break each leg off like above.
 |
| Remove the hard pieces from the body cavity and discard. |
 |
| Pull the meat from the body cavity. |
 |
| Crack off the knuckle. |
 |
| Cracking the legs from the edges works best. |
 |
| Crack the shell, gently. |

| Shells from one side of the crab. |
The bowl holds the crab meat from one whole crab.
Corn, not being in season, is the only thing missing from the plate! Delicious New England Boiled Crab Dinner! Enjoy!
A delicious start of the New Year!

| I have to say this is well worth the effort for a crab lover like me! |
