How does one cook a King Crab?

If you don't know how to eat crab legs, don't feel bad. In just a few short minutes, you'll have the technique down to a tee! I'll illustrate how in picture's here for you and put it all together in a video eating a dungeness crab. We also have a video to show you how to eat Blue Crab. So, you're done cooking crab legs and you are ready to eat them. This is the best way to get to the crab meat. Come, we'll show you how easy it is. Pick up your crab leg and break off one of the legs at the thigh area where you see all the crab meat. Next, break the end of the leg off and discard into a bucket, bowl or dish. With Dungeness Crab it's not worth the work to get to the bit of meat that is down by the end of the crab leg. Most of the meat is in the thigh area and the first knuckle's after the thigh-meaty area. For King Crab, there's a lot of meat all the way through, even to the claw. Next, you may want to have some crab scissors, like I have illustrated. I like using them instead of a nut cracker or a mallet, but you can use whatever you have handy. You want to get the scissors in on the inside of the leg. Cut through the carcass, then you can pull the leg apart and get the crab meat out. You can tell the difference from the soft meat and the hard carcass of the crab. Then, basically, you "rinse and repeat" with the rest of the crab legs. In the thigh area, where most of the meat is, the carcass isn't too tough. You can probably pick the crab meat out with your fingers. It's ok to do that, too! If it seems tough, again, you can use the crab scissors to cut the carcass from the meat. from how to eat crab web
