It tastes INCREDIBLE, my friend!! I made 40 pounds of it once when we were on vacation in Calif!!!!!! It is not too much different from steaming. You simply wrap three or four legs in foil along with a few lemon slices, several pats of butter and garlic salt. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!! It is best to put the on "indirect" heat but the smoky goodness is there!!

You know Ron, crab is one of my all time favorites. I just love it. I try to do King Crab once a month or so. The Princess does not like the smell so I tend to cook it in the summer when I can simply put it out on the grill. I also try to cut the lower part of the shell open, along the leg, prior to cooking it. That way, it is considerably easier to get at when it is done!! |

Morning DF...I think Crabs and Lobsters are some of the ugliest edibles I've ever laid eyes on...I didn't even try King Crab for the first time 'til about a year ago...the meat was really tasty, but the effort that went in and the menacing carcass's (?) strewn about didn't leave me begging for more...the wine served was a suprising complement to the meal...

Just returned from my introduction to Wii. It's official, I can bowl pretty good and play baseball ok but I suck at golf! I did pretty damn good in boxing though!
Crap? Your eating crap? My suggestion is you sprinkle a good bit of Old Bay on it, steam it with beer in the water, and when the craps stop banging on the lid they are done! Perhaps you would like to wear a bib and maybe a clothespin on your nose for such an ocassion? Enjoy!
