Claw Crab Meat... WTF?

[prodonkey]

I could totally eat 3 pounds of crabcakes in 1 sitting

Get some triscuits, and maybe some cheese or something, put the crab on em, eat one while pacing around the house, eat another, pace, repeat.

EDIT: wheat thins?

The crab is raw everyone. I am not going to eat raw crab. Well, unless someone can give a good suggestion.

Note the word fresh in the title.

To add insult to injury. I probably burned 800 bucks in 700 hands. Whoop whoop.

So the crab is raw, like straight from the shell after they killed it and they never even boiled it? If so I have no idea how to proceed. Maybe you can just boil or steam the meat? I have never boiled anything other than live crabs though. Weird.

Crab claw meat is not of the same quality as the body, but I do still think it is delicious so I would still just eat it straight up after boiling though. I eat lump crab meat straight from the can all the time. This probably didn't help at all, but good luck trying to find out what to do.

You can buy those they're called cocktail claws. FWIW, I've never had a claw meat crabcake. You really want jumbo lump or backfin for those. My favorites are crab fluffs (crab meat deep-fried in a batter, so good if done right) and softshell crab sandwiches. Claws are mainly used for crab soup. Maryland FTW.

Can you post a picture? Raw unshelled crab meat sounds really weird to me, I don't even know what that would look like!

The chinese-wedding style deep fried crab claws are the best. I wish I knew how to make those.
