I'm not a Broussard, though.

I thought this was common practice.
We get a pot of water boiling, and have a pot of ice water next to it. Dunk live crab in boiling water with tongs for 10 seconds, then dunk in ice bath to get cool enough to peel. Tear the back out and scrape out the guts, pull the lungs, etc.
Then you put them on the grill, and do the lemon, butter, worcestershire, garlic routine, where there previously was guts. Sprinkle them w/ Tony's or whatever, then die in heaven. Otherwise known as barbecue'd crabs.
They do these at DI's in/around Basile, LA. We've been doing this for 20 years, and while a PITA on the front end, they're easier to eat on the back end, and sooo fuggin good.

Ok, here ya go.
Ran traps this morning. Got a few nice ones, including this guy:
I've got the pics set up so you can see the process and product.
I cleaned this guy and ate that pile in under two minutes. This is the goat crab cleaning/eating method.
This next one is where I took the top half off of each side, but left the bottom in tact:
Not a piece of shell in the pile, or shard of meat wasted.

This is what the Asian ladies do when they're pealing for speed/$$$.
I'm just doing it because I'm hungry/husky.

Madame said she will buy and boil the crabs, bring that nerd knife, she will supply ample amounts of Parish beers for a refresher course, as for me I've never peeled a crab and don't wanna learn how to, that why I married a bayou beauty baw

Done.
For real though, this can be done in under two minutes.
Changes the game.

Lovely. Thank you!
So you leave the Popsicle in place and twist it out to get the jumbo lump?

Ok I am late to the party on this one but now I am curious.
So instead of breaking the body in half you are suppose to cut it lengthways?

The only reason I left the bottom in one piece there was to show Gris that all the meat can slide out in large lumps and the shell can be picked clean without a lot of fuss.
Normally I'd split it down the middle like everybody's always done, then take the tops off, then slide the meat out.
When you cut the legs, it frees the meat to slide from the middle out in the direction towards where the legs used to be.

No, I left him there just to show you he needs to stay put! Cut him like the rest of the legs, then slide from the middle on out and get that huge chunk in tact with the rest of the meat!
As big as you thought the hunk you were getting there was, it's even better when you do it this way!

I know I'm late to the party but here is Justin Wilson doing bbq crabs about 25 years ago.

Fast forward to about 5 minutes.

I had a few in my traps last week.
Tossed them back.

That's a waste. If they're soft and out in the open, they're just bait. Can't swim; can't defend themselves. Might as well have harvested them.

I guess you're right.
They weren't molting, I could just tell it was about to happen.
I don't have a tank with water recycling like Dudley does where you can keep them and wait for the molting to happen. That's why I sent them back.
