Cleaning Crabs

by Linda Thompson
(New York)

How long can you wait after you had cooked the crabs to clean them?

Just till they are cooled down enough to handle. We always take the crabs out of the boiling pot and put them in a sink full of cold water to speed the cooling process...a few minutes in cold water and you should be able to handle the crabs to clean them.

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
