Saw this surveillance footage of a crab poacher on an LA Facebook page. This you?

We just ice them real good, pull the backs off and clean them up good.
I mix melted butter, Tony's, minced garlic. And whatever else you seasoning you like.
Throw them on the grill cavity side up and continually baste with the buttry sauce. I like to let fire flare up on them from the butter to give them a chargrilled taste.
TBH, they're kind of hard to f up if I can cook them.

Make sure you take the lungs off. That's where all the bacteria is is located.

Yeah, I means just the insides and lungs.
Look good, but I don’t break them in 1/2 before grilling.

Trial and error. My buddy and his son are in town and they had a damn ball catching them so we going back tomorrow.
I want to tinker my marinade/glaze a little as well and not cut them in half

Lot of people like to boil them whole to “add flavor”, I’m not hating on that. But what I was taught and still do just because it’s easier to store, eat, etc. Is we rip the top head part off by grabbing the corner of the shell.
Then clean up the inside, we use a hose though I know some people don’t like to mix fresh water with salt water sea food. You end up with this:
Can boil this or grill it. Grilled with a butter and seasoning mixture is amazing.

I’ve had them boiled like that too. The meat just seems to come out easier than when you boil the whole crab. More work on the front end, but it’s a better outcome IMHO.

This is how grew up doing it. My dad even rigged up a special cleaning table with clamps. Good memories. Need to get down to Hackberry soon

i used to catch 20 dungeness each time i went out on the water, about 3-4 times a week when i lived in washington. brought them home, boiled them like a normal louisiana boil, at them in the driveway. probably gave out half of them to people who were walking dogs, walking around the neighborhood, etc. froze a lot of leg meat and body meat for future crab cakes and bisque

My grandmother used to clean them like that, but she would break off the legs and claws for other uses and sauté the bodies in butter

I use Dragos butter sauce and sprinkle them wit a little extra creole seasoning.
