Went out crabbing today and ended up with 7 dungeness crabs.

Was going to do the standard steam but with 7 I can do some other ideas. So let's hear them.
 
I like them asian style

basically butcher them down and toss in flour, chilli, cornstarch, ginger and deep fry, garnish with fried garlic/chilli/ginger/lemongrass

good shit
 
Ended up doing 4 just basic steamed. 3 Asian style

Asian style crab:
Break down crabs into legs, claw and quarter the body.
heat about 2 tbs of oil in wok
add in 2 oz julienned ginger and 1 bunch (about 7-8 stalks) of diced green onion
after they sweat a bit add in crab parts with the top shell on top of all the pieces
cover the whole thing and wait for the crab to stop giving off liquid
when you start to smell a little smoke (you can pull it off before this but I like the flavor that a bit of smoke imparts to the crab) turn off the heat and serve the crab.
