My family had some crabs for my little sister's birthday. We clean the crabs before we cook them and most people cook them before they clean them. Here are some pics from the event.






After we finished cleaning them, we boiled them and made some spaghetti. Here's a shot of the dinner table. We also had some bigger crab legs, much easier to get the meat from them.
and what's a birthday party without cake!?and the video...

Kudos to Sara, who watched the cleaning and became a master crab eater. I believe I saw a thought bubble over her head saying "Savages! Those Smiths! Savages! the lot of them! Breaking open live crabs, gulping down bowls of spaghetti, and eating 8 inch tall cake"
