Yeah, i love boiled crabs too! I love it with vinegar and garlic. I love to mixed the crab's fat on my rice. I think it's best when eaten with bare hands. I don't it would be easy to eat it using fork and spoon. lol! Have you tried boiled crabs with Alavar sauce? I think you should because it's the best. Bagoong is good too but kind of dangerous because of too much salt.

Hi there Mimiang! I love crabs too. Next to shrimp, that is. My fondest memory of eating a crab was when Ninong Cris, one of my godfathers fed me crab when I was really young. can't remember how old exactly I was at that time but from then on, I associated "delicious" to crabs.

I also like eating crabs in this way. It is the most convenient and easiest way to make boiled crabs at home. In fact other cooking methods are all delicious for crabs. Crabs are just a delicious seafood and I love it:) I love China

I love to eat crabs but they are really messy to get into and I would much prefer to have someone cook it for me than attempt to do it myself. I remember being very young and trying to prise the meat out of crab's legs with a cocktail stick, still think that is the best bit. Also like hot crab with butter melted over it.

It is messy but it is more delicious to eat w/ your bare hands when you have rice

I think crabs are best steamed with Old Bay for seasoning. I've only ever had the Chesapeake Bay blue crab though, so I'm not up on how to prepare other crabs. I love crabs but they're so expensive that I don't get to eat them very often. My father is a waterman though, so you'd think I'd get to eat them regularly. :P
