I bought two dozen full #1 selects from Tonys the other day and they were great. I also had some at Sammy's last week and they were good too. I had a few at Hymels Thursday and they are outstanding as usual.

Tony's. Now I have to get some.
ETA Randy Montalbano has excellent ones too.

Not specifically in BR, but right outside in Prairieville at Galvez Seafood off of HWY 43 I believe. Had some the other day and couldn't stop, very good taste and spice!

I know this is a hijack, but what about NO? I've got the craving.

I second Randy M's. Had some a few weeks back and they were perfect in every way.

What were they going for?

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

I love some boiled crabs, but lately I've been throwing them on the green egg. I'm not sure if I even want boiled anymore.
They are incredible

I love Randy M and his family, love their boiled crawfish, cup and 1/2s, fried seafood,etc.. But the two times I tried his boiled crabs thus far this year were awful. Small, not full, one time were bloated, and the boiling flavor off both times.
Tony's more consistent when they're running large and full, and in stock, also Jimbo's though proud in price, is better for boiled crabs.
Gonna hit up Addis Seafood hut soon, hear good things from some folks about them. Website quotes very fair prices.

Posted on 7/28/13 at 1:10 pm to TJG210
I've done them on the BGE. They come out great.
Dust them with Old Bay first.

I usually buy live crabs. Cause i dont want them cooked as much as already boiled. I season the water like I normally would for regular boiled crabs. Once the water is up to a boil I drop crabs in, return to boil and boil for 6 minutes.
I shutoff fire and remove crabs. Dump crabs in cooler and let rest to cool down a little. In the meantime I get the BGE going.
And make a butter sauce to baste crabs in.
Once BGE is ready. I like 275-300. I remove claws and put back in boiled water to soak while grilling bodies.
I remove all legs just leaving cavities of the crab. Clean out inside. Throw crabs on BGE and baste with butter sauce. About 10 mins. The butter drip and flame fire up a bit.
Remove crabs from grill and claws from water. Enjoy!
The chargrilled flavor with the buttery flavor is incredible.
My butter sauce I use is as follows:
Melted butter
Dash of lea and perrins
Garlic
Little lemon juice
Old bay
