This is similar to the stone crab, the shell is also thick and the claws are very hard…Yup!!! Don’t ever use your teeth to crack the legs…I normally grill the crabs instead of steaming it, the juice comes out sweeter…and sometimes(whole, not cut), I fried it in Olive oil and three Tbs of coffee beans…the best crab that i ever tasted was the Spider Crab(similar to the coconut crabs)…this is heck a sweet!!!!

i haven’t seen that kind of crab but i am keen to cook that one of these days (this week end perhaps). i usually cook crab in a simple manner. I heated up a frying pan, dismembered and cleaned the crab, heated up some cooking oil, put some chopped garlic and added the crab parts in and seasoned generously with salt and pepper.happy long week end everybody!
