Chef's Notes
Treat the live crab with absolute respect and speed; precision here separates the amateur kitchen from the grand dining hall.
Pro Tip
Keep a bowl of ice water nearby to rinse your hands frequently, and always sharpen your cleaver before facing those stubborn claws.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Skipping the freezer slumber party and attempting surgery on a wide-awake, angry crustacean will quickly turn your pristine kitchen into a wrestling ring, leaving you crying in a corner wrapped in dish towels while a furious mud crab brandishes your favorite chef's knife from atop the refrigerator.

Delicate Protein Preservation
Storage Science
Cool quickly and refrigerate in an airtight container immediately. Seafood degrades rapidly; consume within 24 to 48 hours maximum.
Reheating Science
DO NOT microwave on high. Seafood proteins tighten and become rubbery when rapidly heated. Reheat gently in a covered pan over low heat with a splash of water or stock to create gentle steam, preserving moisture.
