Note to self:

[silverthorne]

If one is going to insist on eating snowcrab that's still in the shell, rather than the pre-shelled sort-of-crab-but-also-other-fish-chunks, then one must make note to get ones-self a nutcracker set before one has another go-around with said crustacaens.

Because one's fork (not to mention ones fingers) now hates ones-self .

(In other words: 'Yo, dumb-ass, get a nutcracker set for your crabs!')

I'm in town, I'll show you how to eat them without the nutcracker (which of course can not be done properly if they are overcooked).

Heh, okay. Maybe that'll help. *makes note to plan for crabbage to be available*

LOL!

Well, I would, except that all that happens when I do that is crushed crab and a lot of shell in the nice meaty part I'm trying to eat. Not so good.

I've got it down to a science.

1)Bite high up on the middle of leg so you don't crunch into the meat.
2)Rip it open the rest of the way.
3)Remove meat.
4)???
5)PROFIT

...you, sir, are a bigger crab than me. :)

Oh, and there's butter involved in there somewhere. Might be the ??? even.
