Steps:
- Lay the cooked crab on its back and twist off the claws and legs. Crack the claws and legs using a heavy object - but don't allow the shell to shatter into very small pieces as it will be difficult to find. Carefully remove the meat using a lobster pick or teaspoon and put it into a bowl (preferably metal). Check for stray shell by shaking the bowl from time to time - shell fragments 'ping' against the side and can be removed. Put your thumbs on the base of the body, at the back of the crab, and push upwards to release it from the carapace.
- Pull away and discard the lungs ('dead man's fingers') found around the main body and inside of the carapace. Press the mouth so that it snaps away from the main shell and pull away the stomach sac. Cut the body in half and scoop out further white meat - it is worth taking time over this as there is a surprising amount in all the small cavities.
- Scoop out the brown meat from the carapace - the quantity and quality of this will depend on the time of year. If the crab has had its shell for some time, the brown meat will be plentiful. Some people like brown meat straight from the shell, others add seasoning, a little mustard and breadcrumbs, too. White meat is great just as it is.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, bell pepper and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Add the thyme and sherry and cook, stirring, until the sherry is mostly reduced, 3 minutes. Add the broth, 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne; bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and add the scallion greens. Add the bread cubes, vegetable-broth mixture and crabmeat and stir until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes and scatter evenly over the stuffing; sprinkle with the paprika. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 more minutes.
STUFFED CRAB
Steps:
- In a skillet over low heat melt the butter, add the onion, yellow pepper, fennel, and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook slowly for about 6 minutes until all are tender, transfer mixture to a bowl, add bread crumbs, and allow to cool.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- When cooled add crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon, parsley, scallions, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix the ingredients well and stuff the shells. Bake for 25 minutes until warmed through.
- Note: the crabs should be poached in a court boullion made with 2 quarts water, 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped yellow onion, and 1 chopped celery stalk boiled with 1/2 teaspoon each black peppercorns and coriander seeds. Bring the mixture to a boil and after 10 minutes, add 1 lemon, thinly sliced. Let boil for 10 more minutes, salt the water, and poach the crabs.
ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING
Use for stuffing shrimp or mussels. It would also make a very good stuffed flounder. I LOVE this recipe and I am proud of it! I made it up all by myself and it took me two years to perfect it.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
- For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
- For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
- Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
- Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
- Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
- I love this.

MARINATED CRAB LEGS
Marinated crab legs are then steamed over beer and onion. Great taste, even for those who claim to not like crab. I like to dip in melted butter!

- If you're cooking a live crab, first bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil. (If using a ready-cooked fresh crab, proceed to the next step.)
- To prepare the cooked, cooled crab, first remove the legs by twisting them off where they meet the body.
- Separate the crab body from the central part of the crab by placing the crab on its back (hard shell-side down). Put your hands under the edge of the crab and push upwards until you hear it break.
- Drain any excess water from the shell of the crab and remove the stomach sac and hard membranes inside the shell.
- Use a spoon to remove the brown meat from the shell and any soft shell that has formed. Place it into a clean bowl and mash with a fork.
- Press down on the edges of the crab shell, breaking away the outer edges to form a 'dish' for serving.
- Break each claw in half. Use the handle of a teaspoon to scrape the white meat out of the thick end of the claw. Place into a separate clean bowl.
- Use the back of a heavy-bladed knife to crack open the remaining piece of claw and the pincers. Remove all the white meat and flake into the bowl. Remove the piece of cartilage inside each of the claws, pick off the meat and discard the cartilage.
