There is no need to wash or rinse the crabs prior to cooking. Request an equal number of female crabs to male although there is a slim chance that they will honor that request being female crabs are sold at a higher price to Asian markets. I recommend calling your seafood market a week in advance to order your blue crabs. Here’s the Recipe Jeffrey used for Boiled Louisiana Blue Crabs: **Check out more of Jeffrey Fisher Home at: or follow him on Instagram like I do at Jeffrey Fisher Home The water/crabs need all of the flavor and they DO NOT come out like suicide chicken wings, just lovely flavored meat.” **We love Jeffrey’s hysterical warning: “If you are doing this indoors instead of outside, when you’re boiling the water with all the spices and no one in the house can breath and they think you are going to kill them, take no notice. After the cooking process has stopped from the bath, we then put them back into the spicy water to soak up the flavor. Here’s a great tip: My Louisiana friend- Merwyn – who has done many crab boils, removes the crabs from the hot water once done cooking to an ice bath. And though we sometimes do the corn, potatoes and sausage, we didn’t last week.

Jeffrey shares, “This is the recipe that my friends and I followed at our beach house, though we did cut it in half because we were cooking 2 dozen crabs not 4. I also love how friendly people are on Instagram, for example, I happened upon these delicious photos of a home cooked meal by interior designer Jeffrey Fisher, posted a comment asking if he would share the recipe with KDH readers et voila! Here you go: KDHamptons readers, are you all as addicted to Instagram as I am? For me, Instagram is a constant source of inspiration and eye candy serving up a constant feed of photos from the worlds I am most drawn to: design, art, fashion, food, nature, travel, and luxury.
