I feel pretty good on my boil seasoning as I have done many a crawfish and shrimp boil, but this will be my first attempt at crabs.

What is the proceedure?

same as crawfish. Boil until they rise and soak until they sink

Thanks, I expected more traction than I am getting. Everyone must be on the rant.

Boil for twelve, rest for about the same, if they are not eaten then store lying upside down to keep in the juices.

I bring mine to a big rolling boil and turn them off. Let em soak 20-30 minutes. Shells are nice and soft and the meat pulls out easily.

I have heard to store them mouth down to let the juice drain and keep the meat from getting mushy.

Anyone else have an opinion?
