EXTREMELY GRAPHIC: Live Kill and Twice Cooked Blue Crabs

From our comment section by: Jessibelle M. Louisiana girl here. ;) Blue crabs and crawfish are my specialty. Americans/whatever pay more for males because they've generally got more meat when harvested at the right time. Also, female blue crabs usually have the red tips on their claws. Although males are more saught-after, the statement about how female blue crabs taste better is true. :D It's the smaller compartments of meat separated by thinner divisions that discourage people; It's a lot more work to "clean" female crabs of their meat. lol. But they are more fatty and flavorful. p.s. fresh caught blue crabs that are alive when you bring them home but die during the purge process are 100% fine to cook as long as they are cooked within 1 hour of death. Enjoying fresh seafood has no equal, especially when it comes to shellfish. In some of our previous dishes, we show you how to make several mouth watering recipes; in this week's episode, Master Sushi Chef shows you how to make some delicious fresh Blue Crab with ginger and scallions. All of the items are easily found at your local supermarket and feel free to substitute white wine for sake, and Tabasco for Sambal. Enjoy this dish and tell us how yours turned out!
