Recipe by Leda Hermecz
A crab boil is a simple meal, but a favorite one. Boiling the crabs in saltwater is preferred by some folks on the coast. Just grab some saltwater while you are crabbing. It’s best not to keep your caught crabs in the water, as they will expire quicker once they run out of oxygenated water. Some folks like to spice up their boils with Old Bay Seasoning. While this adds some spice, I like eating crab as simply cooked as possible to taste the complex flavor it has on its own. I'd recommend leaving the spice out the first boil you do. It’s important to cook the crab for at least 10 minutes total. I like to put a cover on the pot and place a small skillet of butter to melt on top of the lid.
