Live Hard Crab Information
When your live blue crabs arrive, it is important that you steam them as soon as possible. The Maryland method of preparing live crabs calls for dumping them into a large pot with a tight fitting lid and an inch of water in the bottom. The pot will not dry out for the crabs put out a lot of moisture. Layer in the crabs with Old Bay Seasoning or your favorite crab boil, ½ cup vinegar and ½ cup beer. Set upon the heat. Cover and steam for about 30 minutes. Good hot or cold.
