A crab feast is the perfect way to bring people together and enjoy delicious food on a warm summer day! After removing the claws from your crab, simply use a mallet to crack the shell, and gently pull the lump of crab meat out to dip in butter or Old Bay seasoning. The legs can be cracked in half with your fingers before removing the meat to enjoy. The lump meat in the middle requires removing the shell, lungs, gills, and mustard before separating the halves and enjoying. Every crab features plenty of delicious meat which you will not want to miss out on! Check out this video to learn every step of the crab-picking process.
