Their brethren were YouTubed to determine the best method of destruction and cleaning. Having the visual aid was most welcome and helpful.
So to remember what we did for future reference:
1. We shocked them in some ice water which stunned them so as to not be harmed by their gundys
2. We laid them out on their backs so their bellies showed and speared under the mouths
3. The tops were removed and they were then cut in half.
Harsh, I know. We felt sorry for the little crabs.
After being frozen over night, Momma HOchie prepared Sunday Lunch. Oh yes. Thank you crabs, for providing a wonderful addition to the callalloo along with the pigtails, with a lovely side of macaroni pie, rice and some awesome-assed stewed chicken. Yum.
The bottom line, is that the crabs went
INTO my mouth.
