Catching Tips:

Cleaning Tips:
- Rinse the crabs thoroughly to remove any debris.
- Hold the crab firmly and flip it upside down.
- Remove the triangular flap on the underside of the crab using your thumb.
- Turn the crab back over, remove the top shell, and discard it.
- Clean out the gills and sediment from the center portion of the crab using a hose.
- Finally, rinse the crab one last time to ensure it’s perfectly clean.
Cooking Tips:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add your favorite seasonings and spices to the boiling water.
- Carefully place the cleaned crabs into the pot.
- Let them cook for about 20 minutes or until they turn a vibrant orange color.
