How to Cook and Clean a Fresh Dungeness Crab

Step 3Rinse and cool

Rinse and cool
Remove your crab from the pot, and rinse under cool water in the sink. This will stop the cooking process, cool down the shell enough for you to handle, and rinse off any icky crab guts that may have oozed out during cooking.

Flip him over a couple of times to get both sides with the spray.


From the comments:
Many people like the crab guts!  I'm told they're great on rice or toast, or just sucked directly out  of the shell.  I was apparently raised wrong, however, so will continue to use words like "icky" and rinse out all the crab guts I see.  Please feel free to post recipes that will prove me wrong!
